IPFW Virtual Tour

Tour the Campus of Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne

Helmke Library

At our next stop, you’ll want to get lost — in a book, that is. As northeast Indiana’s premier academic library, Helmke Library holds more than 500,000 print volumes and electronic books and more than 24,000 print and electronic periodical titles. The move into Helmke Library is one of the most memorable events in IPFW history. During the Book Walk of 1972, students, employees, and community groups carried books from Kettler Hall to the new building. On the first day, 85,000 books were moved, and 11,000 trips were made by volunteers who walked a total of 5,500 miles. In 2008, Helmke Library will transform the second floor into the Learning Commons. The high-tech, collaborative, user-centered learning commons will be a one-stop shop for all your student support services needs.
