Friends of the Library

Overview

The University of Central Florida Friends of the Library is a membership-based program that supports UCF Libraries and its mission to collaborate with and empower our community to promote academic success, research, creativity and lifelong learning. Contributions through your Friends’ membership will fund library programs, activities, collections and resources.

Upcoming Events

We’re Preparing Our Next Event
While no events are currently scheduled, we look forward to bringing Friends of the Library together through special programs, tours and community gatherings. Check back soon for updates.

Several people stand and converse around tables displaying stacks of books in a library space with purple carpeting, wood-paneled walls, and large floor lamps. A person in a suit is seen from behind speaking with attendees near the book display.
Students collaborate around tables in a bright library learning space, using laptops, tablets, and notebooks. Additional students study and work together throughout the room, with blue seating, collaborative work areas, and a "Gallery" sign visible in the background.

UCF Libraries empower students, faculty, researchers and the larger community through opportunities for discovery and innovation.
