Your gift makes a difference!

Your investment in the University Libraries is an investment in every Tar Heel. Private support means that the people, places, and programs that make Carolina’s libraries exceptional can continue to thrive.

When you give to the University Libraries, you make it possible for the expert staff here to:

  • Advance the teaching and research mission of the University.
  • Build collections that help us understand the past, engage with the present and create the future.
  • Offer inviting spaces that shape every student’s Carolina experience.
  • Develop programs and exhibitions where students, faculty and neighbors can experience the very best of Carolina’s libraries.

Friends of the Library who make a gift of $25+ annually will receive Windows magazine twice a year. This beautiful publication keeps you up to date on issues and events in the life of the University Libraries. You will also receive special notifications of events and exhibitions.

Friends of the Library who make leadership-level gifts annually ($1,000+) are a part of the University Librarian’s Circle. Members of this group create a thriving library for the entire Carolina community.

We are grateful to the Friends who serve as the Friends of the Library Board of Directors. We also extend our special thanks to all former members of the Friends of the Library Board.
