Welcome to the Fall 2024 semester at Chapman University! The Leatherby Libraries is thrilled to greet new and returning students as they embark on their academic journeys.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Leatherby Libraries in 2004. For the past two decades, the library has been a cutting-edge hub for learning and research, providing valuable contributions to the Chapman University community.
