What UC Berkeley librarians wish you knew about libraries

Libraries are not just pin-drop silent rooms stacked floor to ceiling with books.

There’s much more to them than that.

The UC Berkeley Library is home to a team of passionate experts who help students build upon their skills (from programming to writing) and develop new ones. We have spaces where you can talk to your heart’s content — no hushed tones required. And we work tirelessly to make knowledge available to everyone, not just at Cal, but across the world.
