Libraries Advancement and Support
Connecting People with Knowledge
Whether through the helpful expertise of a librarian, a collaborative study space for students, or a rich and rare collection of books, our resources are utilized by tens of thousands of curious minds - undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and professional students - in support of their quest for knowledge, and to serve the citizens of our state by addressing society’s most vital issues.
Your gift to the Libraries supports our mission of "connecting people with knowledge."

Spotlight
Merry Company - Pop-ups, Movables & Toy Books
Historically pop-up and movable books were intended to delight, excite and charm. The time, care and precision that went into these historical pieces is astonishing, and everything was done by hand.
Co-curated by Pamela Harer and Sandra Kroupa, Book Arts and Rare Books Curator.
