The University Libraries embrace the mission of the University in supporting excellence in education and research and in serving the peoples of the Middle East and beyond.

The Libraries select, organize, maintain, preserve and provide access to resources in all formats necessary to support the educational mission of AUB. They teach the effective use and the critical evaluation of information resources and capitalize on innovative technologies to foster intellectual growth. They partner with all schools, faculties and research institutes in the University and respond to users’ changing needs by continual evaluation of user expectations, and active promotion of collections and services.

The Libraries serve primarily the students, faculty, administration, staff and alumni of the University. They also engage and interact with broader communities, where possible, given their material and human resources.
