1. I'm not a student but I live in Statesboro. Can I use the library?
The Zach S. Henderson Library has an agreement with the Statesboro Regional Library that allows Georgia Southern University students to have access to that library. Members of the community have access to Henderson Library. Georgia has a long-standing tradition of open libraries. In addition, students from all universities and colleges within the University System of Georgia (USG) are welcome to use the libraries of all other institutions within the USG.

The university has a plan in place that will require everyone who uses a computer on campus to sign in with a user name and password. Once that plan is implemented, it will be easier to distinguish between Georgia Southern students, faculty, and staff and members of the general community.

3. Why are non-students allowed to use the library?
Georgia Southern University is a state institution (approximately 50% of the university's budget comes from state appropriations and approximately 33% comes from tuition and fees) that seeks to advance the quality of life in Georgia through education, research and service.  Zach S. Henderson Library supports the University's mission by providing access to resources designed to meet the scholarly needs of the University and the general public and by promoting independent lifelong learning. Library users are expected to contribute to maintaining an appropriate study atmosphere and to observe library rules and regulations.
