The UFV Library is pivotal in supporting the teaching, learning, and scholarship needs of the University’s diverse community of learners and scholars, through:

• delivery of programs and services that are academically, culturally, and socially relevant;
• curation of excellent collections and resources;
• provision of welcoming learning spaces; and
