The Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library is the central location on the College Park campus for music, theatre, and dance materials. Opened in 2000 as part of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, MSPAL's public areas include a spacious main reading room with individual study carrels and computer workstations, a separate reading room for special collections, a lounge-style study room, a seminar room, and a group study room. A multi-media exhibition gallery, with an adjacent lecture/concert room, links the library to the Smith Center's exciting programming via the Grand Pavilion.
