Cantonal and University Library of Fribourg building

The Cantonal and University Library (German: Kantons- und Universitätsbibliothek (KUB), French: Bibliothèque cantonale et universitaire (BCU), also known as the Bibliothèque cantonale et universitaire de Fribourg (BCUF)) is a cantonal and university library that located in the Canton of Fribourg. BCU founded in 1848, comprises a central library and decentralized libraries, notably at the University of Fribourg. All libraries are managed according to the same library principles and guidelines.[1] BCU is part of the Directorate of Education, Culture and Sport (EKSD) of the Canton of Fribourg and is affiliated to the Office of Culture.[2][3]

Its mission is to contribute to the development of the intellectual and cultural life of the canton, both for the university community and for the general public. It is part of the Western Switzerland Library Network (RERO) and works closely with the other libraries in the canton. It has been a member of the Swiss Library Service Platform (SLSP) network since 2020.[1]

According to the cantonal law on the cultural institutions of the state, the KUB has the task of:

  • to acquire, record, preserve and make accessible to the public the information media required for education, general education and scientific research;
  • to compile a Fribourg documentation accessible to the public and to keep an associated bibliography;
  • to ensure the obligatory distribution of printed materials and recordings and to preserve the collections;
  • to contribute to the development of the general public library system in the canton.
