Lavery Library

Established in 1975, Lavery Library was named in honor of Rev. Charles J. Lavery, the second president of Fisher. Father Lavery was the longest-serving college president in New York State.

Lavery Library actively participates in the research and teaching of the Fisher community by providing a responsive, collegial team committed to connecting people and ideas worldwide. In a welcoming environment, the library guides discovery for a lifetime of informed decision-making.

As part of the Fisher Forward campaign, the transformation of Lavery Library will begin in 2024 with anticipated completion by 2026.
