Umeå University Library is one of the seven libraries in Sweden that by law is directly supplied by printers in Sweden with one copy of every print ("pliktbibliotek").

Umeå Town Library was from 1950 gradually expanded to supply services for research and for university education. It was reorganized as a university library at the time of the foundation of the Umeå University in 1965. A new main library building on the university campus was inaugurated in 1968. It has then been extended, most recently in 2006.

There are subsidiary libraries at the Norrland's University Hospital, at the Umeå Arts Campus and in Örnsköldsvik.
