The Frohring Library moved into renovated facilities in 1999, thanks to a generous donation from the Paul and Maxine Frohring Foundation, and has further increased its spaces in the following years.

This professionally run facility offers students and faculty direct access to its collections. There are four study rooms, a multimedia lab and a media room where students and faculty with personal laptop computers can access a wide range of research tools and resources that support the university's liberal arts curriculum.

The Library's current collection of 25,000 items includes monographs, hard-copy journals, newspapers, videos, DVDs and CD-ROMs. Its electronic resource collection, available via the Library portal throughout campus, consists of a growing number of online databases, including current bibliographies (Bibliography of History of Art and MLA International), reference sources (Encyclopedia Britannica, Oxford Reference On-line, Grove Dictionary of Art and Grove Dictionary of Music), and full text collections (Columbia Granger's World of Poetry, Columbia International Affairs On-line, Ebsco's Academic Search Complete, Business Source Premier, Communication and Mass Media Complete, JSTOR, Project Muse, Lexis Nexis, Westlaw International).

Face to face research and information services are provided by a Reference Librarian and an Information Technology Instructor. For distance users, digital reference services are available via the Library Portal.

The library is a charter member of AMICAL, the American International Consortium of Academic Libraries, participates with its holdings in Worldcat and partners with Italian libraries for document delivery and interlibrary loan services.

In addition, John Cabot University has established agreements with other educational and research institutions. JCU students may browse the library of St. John’s University, Rome Campus and the Centro Studi Americani (Center for American Studies), both English language libraries.
