Top 5 Reasons to Use the UCFV Library

5: Because the library is always there for you, even when you are not able to go to it. Online resources are fantastic! - especially when you forgot to do an assignment due the next morning

4: Because the people there are extremely helpful and patient. - no matter how many times you lose your PIN number

3: Because it's a quiet place to find time to work on your assignments. - or sleep in a cubicle if you're really tired

2: Because they're always trying to make sure we have the latest materials available to help in our courses. -even if the latest materials happen to be from 1984

1: And because when it comes right down to it, sometimes you just need a smile and a good book on Underwater Basket Weaving to curl up with.

Top 5 Reasons to FOCUS on the UCFV Library

Frank, your bagpipe-playing roommate, won't challenge you to "just one more" game of Wii Tennis!

Once you walk through these doors, you'll be in the study mode that gets the job done.

Computer time researching with a UCFV librarian beats the copiousness of Google and the tangents of Wikipedia.

Understanding *how* to find what you need in a quiet yet friendly environment gets you focused.

Slapping down an essay you actually learned something from feels good.

The University of the Fraser Valley is situated on the traditional territory of the Stó:lō peoples. The Stó:lō have an intrinsic relationship with what they refer to as S’olh Temexw (Our Sacred Land), therefore we express our gratitude and respect for the honour of living and working in this territory.
