Enriching the University Library

The Friends of the UCSC Library work to enrich the University Library and strengthen it as a vital center for scholarly life. We have an enthusiasm for books and learning, as well as an appreciation of the library's importance to the University and the community.

When you join the Friends of the UCSC library, you support the University Library and help to enhance its collections and services. In addition, you receive library borrowing privileges and other benefits, including off-campus access to the online magazine, journal and newspaper resource, ProQuest Research Library.
