About Us

As a dynamic center of learning and research, UB Libraries are the heart of the university, providing a rich academic environment that is supportive and respectful of all points of view.

Your UB Libraries champion intellectual freedom, objective inquiry, and critical thinking. We support the free and open exchange of ideas and perspectives in an inclusive environment that acknowledges and celebrates diversity, equity and cultural awareness.

We actively engage our students, faculty, staff and scholars by delivering outstanding services and a broad spectrum of collections that reflect the wide variety of human knowledge, ideas and research existing in our global community.

We are here for you!
