The Lima Campus Library is located on the first floor of Cook Hall. The library has approximately 80,000 books, CDs, and videos, and provides online access to articles through its [Rhodes: 100] [OSU-Lima: 450] subscription databases. Through the online catalog for The Ohio State University, students can search for and request items from other Ohio State University libraries. Students can also access and request items through OhioLINK, a statewide online catalog of over 40 million items in 85 Ohio colleges and universities.

The catalogs and databases can also be accessed from home by following the instructions on the library website.
