Give to the Library
The work of the library is essential to the fulfillment of the university’s mission.
Make a donation to one of many areas within the library that support current needs, access, conservation, internships, collections, and acquisitions.
With every donation, you advance the library’s enduring work, and open doors to discovery today and for many generations of scholars to come. Learn more about the library's priorities in the Look to Michigan campaign.
