The Gothenburg University Library (Swedish: Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek) consists of ten separate libraries in Gothenburg, Sweden, including Learning Resource Centres.

It is a meeting place for students, teachers and researchers at the University of Gothenburg as well as the public.

The collection contained about 1,000 volumes, that had been bequeathed to the museum in 1844, by the physician to the Royal Court of Sweden Johan P Westring, another 500 books were donated from the Royal Society of Sciences and Letters in Gothenburg and finally 300 books came from the library of the County Agricultural Society.

[3] The only money the library received during the first years, was an annual grant of 500 SEK from the museum.

[7] A new building for the Gothenburg City Library was inaugurated on 6 October 1900, at Haga kyrkoplan.

The City Library, which remained under the management of the Gothenburg Municipality, vacated the premises at Haga kyrkoplan the same year and moved to Renströmsgatan 4 at Näckrosdammen.

The buildings consists of the foundations of an older complex, The Memorial (Minneshallen), which was built for the Gothenburg Tercentennial Jubilee Exposition in 1923,[10] and a new part designed by architect Ärland Noreen.

[7] At the same time, the library's function was split into two sections: the public and the biomedical.

The present library was designed by the architect company Erséus, Frenning & Sjögren Arkitekter.
