An example of a UBC Library Legacy Program bookplate
Celebrate the journey to graduation and honour the new graduate in your life with a personalized UBC bookplate offered by UBC Library.
Bookplates, or ex-libris, are decorative labels placed inside book covers to indicate the volume’s owner, and have a long history dating back to the 15th century.
Give the gift of a bookplate
Through the University Library Legacy Program, a bookplate with a personalized inscription is placed in the subject area of the donor’s choice. All proceeds from this program are put towards future UBC Library collections.
Explore the online gallery of bookplates and give a special individual a meaningful and lasting contribution to the University community of lifelong learners who use the Library.
