Shuman Library occupied space on the first and second floors of the Learning Resources Center in the Lifelong Education Center. The Children's Learning Center is located in the area that was the former library. Groundbreaking on the new Library occurred late 2004. Construction began on January 24, 2005.{{Cite web|url=https://pctoday.pct.edu/excavation-work-starts-at-roger-and-peggy-madigan-library/|title=Excavation Work Starts at Roger and Peggy Madigan Library|last=|first=|date=2005-01-25|website=PCToday|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}{{Cite web|url=https://news.psu.edu/story/472665/2017/06/21/penn-college%E2%80%99s-madigan-library-quickly-advances-%E2%80%98star%E2%80%99-program|title=Penn College's Madigan Library quickly advances in 'Star' program {{!}} Penn State University|website=news.psu.edu|language=en|access-date=2020-01-09}}
