Library Board

The Library Board advocates for the UC Berkeley Library to enhance its depth, breadth, quality, and excellence. The Board advises the university librarian on how to best present his or her vision for the Library to faculty, alumni, and other constituents. The leadership group also works to strengthen the partnership between the Library and its friends on campus and in the region, state, nation, and world. The Board’s mission in brief is: advocate, advise, collaborate, and support.
