FHU Library Two libraries are located within the Hope Barber Shull Academic Resource Center: the Loden-Daniel Library and the Hope Barber Shull Library. and Mrs. F. W.

The Library's mission is to foster Christian community and scholarship among university students, faculty, and staff by providing academic resources and learning opportunities in a nurturing environment. The Loden-Daniel Library is the two-story portion of the ARC that is located on the east side. The Loden-Daniel Library was built in 1973 and named in 1974 in honor of the parents of Mr. Loden III. The Loden-Daniel Library was built as an addition to the former Lawhorn Library, which was built in 1956, and named in honor of Mr. Lawhorn of Temple, Texas. The Hope Barber Shull Library is the three-story, 29,000 square foot, part of the building that has been added to the west side of the Loden-Daniel Library. The ARC provides reading and study areas, wireless Internet access, group study rooms, and a quiet room. Print and copy rooms are located on the first and second floors. The University’s Archives, Reading Room, and print stacks are located on the second floor, and the Learning Commons and Help Desk, where students can receive technology assistance for class assignments, is located near the east, first-floor entrance. During the academic year, the Hope Barber Shull Academic Resource Center is opened 90.5 hours per week.
