Over the last 100 years, we have illuminated excellence by supporting students, providing exciting collections for faculty classroom use, aiding in the research life cycle, and more. 2025 marks the centennial of the initial library building, now known as the Smathers Library, which offered centralized collections and services at the University of Florida.
Starting with that building in the northeast corner of campus, we have grown to be the largest academic resource system in the state with six on-campus branches, affiliate branches across Florida, and high-density storage facilities. We look forward to seeing you at an in-person event or online in 2025 as we celebrate our past and envision our future.
