About
The library supports Cal Poly’s commitment to reflect the diversity of our state, ensuring the mental and physical well-being of our students and creating an ever more inclusive campus, where equity is the norm and every student benefits from the same opportunities for community, personal growth and professional success.
Our Vision
Be the dynamic center of learning, where people and ideas converge to cultivate innovation and scholarly pursuits.
Our Values
Empathy : We embrace all perspectives with curiosity, cultural humility, and care. We strive to understand our community's needs, fostering growth, leadership, and a sense of belonging.
Accessibility : We champion access for all. We proactively remove barriers and adapt our services to ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need and are empowered to explore, discover, and create.
Learn by Doing : We encourage experiential learning and discovery. We provide resources, expertise, and spaces to connect, build expertise, and pursue personal growth.
Sustainability : We recognize the interdependence of people and place. We are proactively working towards preserving multiple perspectives on the past and achieving a better future through sustainable practices and responsible solutions. This commitment honors our community and ensures the health and well-being of all.
Strategic Priorities
The Library Management Team (LMT) members serve as sponsors for the strategic initiatives and will oversee all aspects of the development and implementation of the plan. This includes prioritizing the implementation of goals, obtaining resources to achieve success, and making modifications to the initiatives as necessary.
