The William T. Jerome Library is considered the academic heart of campus through advancing teaching, learning, research, collaboration, and discovery to empower a diverse community of users to contribute to the public good.

Academic libraries continue to grow and change in response to technological innovations, while preserving primary source materials to ensure scholarly access for future generations. The University Libraries fosters excitement in the process of discovery and advances teaching, learning and research through quality collections, resources and services including more than 7 million items in multiple formats.

The University Libraries continues to thrive as a central part of the academic life of BGSU. We continue to seek funds to expand and renovate the University Libraries. We invite you to become a part of bringing the University Libraries into a new era by making a gift to the University Libraries.
