Why are my child styles loading before my parent styles?

    I am trying to figure out how to properly enqueue a child theme stylesheet and I cannot figure it out. I have this in my child theme functions.php: 

    <?php

//Get UIC Child Theme Styles
function uic_styles() {

	wp_enqueue_style( 'uic-styles', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/library/css/style.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'uic_styles' );

?>

    But when I look at the page source for my site, the child theme styles are loading first and the parent styles are loading second. This means that the parent styles are overriding the child styles. How do I fix this?

    can you share the code in your style.css file for child theme only?

    I am using SASS, so I have a couple of stylesheets. In the root of my child theme, I have style.css which has this:

    /*!
 Theme Name:   UIC
 Theme URI:    http://slamagency.com
 Description:  Child theme of the SLAM! theme for UIC.
 Author:       Megan Carroll
 Template:     slam-theme_v1
 Version:      1.0.0
 Tags:         light, dark, two-columns, right-sidebar, responsive-layout, accessibility-ready
*/
/* =Theme customization starts here
-------------------------------------------------------------- */

    In root > library > css I have style.css which has all of my child theme styles.
