A large academic library investigated the impact of food availability, access, and policy on student use of library spaces and services and support for academic work. Survey results reveal student strategies for accessing food, use of existing food support services, and perceptions of the impacts of library support for food access. Findings reveal positive perceptions of library support for food access on student academic success and use of library spaces. Results also articulate opportunities for academic libraries to connect with student needs for food information and develop programs to support food security.
