Library
Support student success. Donate to the Library.

Your gift to the University Library is a direct investment in the spaces, resources and services we provide every day. With your help, the library supports student success by enhancing the student experience with innovative and flexible learning and study spaces. 

In 2023, the Library is investing in our students by supporting more student fellowships than ever before. Our fellowships provide generous stipends and dedicated research funds for students who receive transformational experiential learning opportunities working with Library collections and services. Our student fellowships bring important U of I collections to the world, tell stories that haven’t been told before, bring history to life and so much more – all while providing crucial financial support for fellowship recipients. 

Your gift during Vandal Giving Day will help us unlock matching gifts provided by the Library Advisory Board and others. These much-needed funds will enable us to build our capacity as Idaho's foremost research library.

Your financial support allows us to grow, explore and commit to our vision of supporting student success across the curriculum and building a world-class research library for our university community.
