For generations, the University Library has been central to every Tar Heel’s journey — supporting discovery, creativity, and learning across campus. From a first research question to advanced scholarship, Carolina’s libraries provide the spaces, resources, and expertise that help ideas take shape. 

Through innovative services like the Library AI Studio, hands-on engagement with rare and historical collections, and a wide range of cultural programs and exhibitions, our librarians partner with students and faculty to push knowledge forward. Libraries also create opportunity, employing more than 180 Library Scholars each year in meaningful roles that build lifelong skills. 

During National Libraries Week, join us in supporting the people and programs that make Carolina’s libraries vital to our shared academic mission.
