Giving to the Libraries

The University Libraries are the heart of our institution.

The quality of the library system at the University of Maryland deeply affects the success of our scholars in exploring the world's knowledge, generating new ideas and creating solutions for society's problems. The achievement of greatness has become daunting in today's world, driven by the vastness of the printed and digital record that documents the world's knowledge base. The great expectations we have for the University of Maryland are inextricably linked to our ability to assure great Libraries.

The Libraries need friends. A friend of the Libraries understands that a gift to the Libraries is a gift to the entire University, and ultimately to society. Friends of the Libraries recognize and appreciate the role libraries play in stewarding resources for others in the future, and are eager to commit their philanthropic support to ensure our cultural heritage.

We invite you to explore the benefits of giving and become a friend today.
