Library

The Graduate Research Library of UPR houses some of the rarest collections in consciousness studies, psychology, easter and western religions, mysticism, metaphysics and classical philosophy. The primary aim of the Library is to provide researchers and students with hard-to-find materials.

Virtually unique in the United States as a wisdom literature resource, the UPR Library houses an impressive collection of more than 30,000 items—books, manuscripts, periodicals & other items devoted to art, astrology, comparative religion, ancient & modern philosophy, psychology, science and related subjects, including many rare original editions from the 15th to the 18th centuries.

Our students who live near the physical facility can also access other educational libraries in the Los Angeles area: both UCLA, USC campus libraries are frequently used by our patrons.

Please note also, that our bookstore stocks all the required texts in the Consciousness Studies program. If you community or local college/university library does not contain sufficient resources for your required and supplementary reading the UPR library can place on loan those works needed upon request.
