Niagara University Library's primary role is to collect and provide access to materials
that support educational programs of the institution.
An attempt is also made to support the research needs of faculty and administrators and to provide materials that support the personal and intellectual enrichment of the Niagara University community.
In supporting educational programs, the Library attempts to purchase materials representing a wide variety of viewpoints. No censorship is exercised on materials of a controversial nature or because of the unpopularity of an author's point of view or mode of expression.
