The Music Library branch of the Mack Library is located on the first floor of the Gustafson Fine Arts Center. This new location was incorporated into the renovation and construction of the Fine Arts Center in 1999 and increased the Music Library's space to over 3,500 square feet. The new library facilities incorporate modern technology and listening equipment, as well as an inviting space where patrons can engage and connect through music. 

The Music Library houses the bulk of the library's resources for music: books, scores, audio recordings, periodicals, and reference materials. Currently, the collection includes 7,304 volumes, 14,276 scores and sheet music, 717 DVDs, and 26 BluRays. In addition to 213 ebooks, the Music Library website offers students and faculty full text access to 204 music related periodicals (ejournals), 67 of which directly support the Fine Arts Music Department and are featured as a tab on the webpage. Computers accommodate patrons researching musical works.
