The mission of the Library Society is to support and strengthen the Library as the central academic resource for research, teaching, and learning at the University of Chicago.

Welcome.

Knowledge enriches life, as we are reminded by the University's motto at the entrance to Regenstein Library. Every time I read it I smile in agreement, for life validates daily the truth of this statement. It accounts for how fondly I regard my student days, how thoroughly I enjoy my participation in the Library Society, and how deeply I feel about supporting the Library.

I am delighted therefore to welcome you to the Library Society's Web site and invite you to participate in our group. The Library Society brings together book collectors, researchers, authors, readers, alumni, and all who love books to help maintain the excellence of the Library's collections.

We are making a profound impact on the Library, so please join us in ensuring a lively and dynamic future for the life of the mind at the University.

Philip M. Burno,
Chairman
