The Mary Livermore Library plays a critical role in the commitment of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke to academic excellence in a balanced program of teaching, research, and service. Its main function is as an education support unit for UNCP, and, accordingly, library programs are focused upon securing, cataloging, and providing access to informational resources relevant to the University curriculum and making them available for student and faculty use. To this end the Library is divided into departments which focus upon this mission.
