At the center of every great university beats a great library. At CSUN, the University Library is more than a building filled with books — it’s where curiosity takes root, ideas are shared, and learning comes alive.
It’s a gathering place where students collaborate and create; a time machine that opens worlds through its rich physical and digital collections; a quiet refuge for reflection; and a vibrant hub for discovery through exhibitions, lectures, and events that spark conversation and connection.
Today’s students learn in ways that evolve as quickly as technology itself. The University Library keeps pace — and leads — with 2.1 million books, 53,000 online journals, archives of sound, film, and video, and nearly 45,000 treasures in Special Collections & Archives. Our librarians partner with faculty to ensure that every collection, database, and journal expands knowledge and fuels academic success.
Your gift to the University Library Excellence Fund ensures that the heart of CSUN keeps beating strong. Your support empowers the University Library to:
- Rapidly acquire the newest books, journals, and digital resources;
- Create dynamic programs that deepen student learning and civic engagement;
- Host thought-provoking exhibitions and events on issues such as women’s leadership, climate change, freedom of expression; and
- Provide scholarships and opportunities that open doors for every Matador.
When you give to the University Library, you invest in curiosity, creativity, and community — the very essence of higher education.
