Libraries Mission

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) Libraries are an innovative partner in the learning community and an active participant in promoting the university's goals of teaching, learning, scholarship and community outreach.

• Provide study and social spaces to enable collaboration and to promote discovery
• Serve the needs of all users regardless of location
• Incorporate new technologies to deliver library services and collections
• Promote information-literacy skills and life-long learning
• Strengthen the collection to support the changing University curriculum and anticipated user needs in an increasingly diverse and global environment
• Partner with departments and units across campus on mutual goals
• Cooperate with UW System libraries as well as libraries and organizations within Central Wisconsin and beyond.
