More Information

Collections in Powell Library focus on current, high-use materials — including books, magazines and reference materials — that support research, growth and wellness, leisure reading and engagement with a diverse campus community. The Powell Library Community Collections have been developed in collaboration with student groups and campus partners and includes:

  • Recent fiction
  • Science fiction and fantasy
  • Graphic literature
  • Cookbooks
  • Travel
  • Zines (located in Powell 145)
  • Video games

Browse the collections in Powell's Main Reading Room or in the Library's catalog(opens in a new tab).

We welcome suggestions and book requests from students and the UCLA community. If you're a member of a student group with an existing collection or an idea for a new one, please get in touch! Student liaisons act as bridges between organizations and the Library, gathering title suggestions from the membership and working with a librarian to add them to the collection. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the librarians at Powell at powellcollections@library.ucla.edu(opens in a new tab).
