Discover the Tomás Rivera Library 


The Rivera Library, built in 1953, is UCR’s central library, providing students and the community at large, more than three million volumes of printed materials. This library was named after UCR’s first Mexican-American Chancellor, Tomás Rivera. 

In 1979, Rivera became the first minority to serve as chancellor within the UC system; he was a writer, educator and administrator who served until his death in 1984. The library, formerly known as the College of Letters and Science Library, was renamed in Rivera’s honor in 1985. 

The library is free to visit and open to the public. Community members are also welcome to apply for a library card.
