From papyrus to podcast, libraries distill a timeless concentration of knowledge and make it accessible for users today and in the future.

People like you made a difference! During the fiscal year that ended in June 2011 private support of the University Library amounted to $4.4 million.
This total included:
Cash gifts to the University Librarian's Discretionary Fund, the McHenry Library Expansion and Renovation, the University Library collections and by the Friends of the UCSC Library.
Planned gifts for future use and matured bequests.
Gifts in-kind from collectors and authors across the nation.
An investment in the University Library ensures that current and future generations of library users will be able to enjoy the full array of academic library services.
Your investment will be used to grow collections, stay on top of technological advances, and provide an environment that fosters learning and research.
You can join us in this important enterprise—and ensure that UCSC Library collections are as rich and distinctive as the campus's uncommon dual commitment to research and instruction. Your gift of dollars or time to the UCSC Library has tangible results and is greatly appreciated.
You can make a gift now.
