Whitaker Library
Welcome to the Whitaker Library Page

The University provides over 800,000 library resources for your success through Whitaker Library. Beyond the physical library building, you have online books, journal articles and streaming videos available 24/7 from anywhere using your campus log-in.

It was constructed in 1968 and named in honor of President Emeritus Bruce E. Whitaker and his wife Esther, faculty emeritus. The library houses a substantial collection of learning resources as well as a number of special collections, including the Baptist collection, the Instructional Materials Center, and items of historical interest to Chowan University and northeastern North Carolina. The building was renovated in 2011.
