About the Libraries
The UNC Libraries are located on the University of Northern Colorado campus in Greeley, Colorado. The Dean of the UNC Libraries is Helen Reed.
Michener Library, the main library, was named after James A. Michener. Mr. Michener attended Colorado State College of Education, now the University of Northern Colorado, from 1936-1937. He was a Social Science educator at the Training School and at the College from 1936-1941. He conceived the idea for his novel Centennial during his stay in Greeley.
Michener Library's collections include approximately 1.5 million items in monograph, periodical, government document, audio-visual and microform formats. The Library also houses the James A. Michener Special Collection and the Mari Michener Art Gallery.
The Skinner Music Library is the only branch library. Built in 1997, it was later named after Howard M. Skinner, former Dean of the College of Performing and Visual Arts.
