The former East Pattee Library underwent expansion from 1998-2000 and was rededicated as Paterno Library for its fundraising campaign chairs. It is home to Foster Auditorium, four subject libraries and the first floor
Eberly Family Special Collections Library, which includes rare books and manuscripts and the University Archives. Also located on the first floor is Starbucks and MacKinnons Study Lounge, spaces created as part of the first phase of the
Libraries 2020 construction project.
The floors above it house the Business Library, Life Sciences Library, and Social Sciences and Education. Paterno Library also houses the Libraries’ administrative offices.
