"No one ever graduated from a library;
                                                                  
No one ever graduated without one." —Anonymous

 

The continued excellence of the University Libraries depends on increased levels of giving from alumni, friends, corporations and foundations. Donors to the Libraries have the ability to ensure continued academic and intellectual excellence for the entire University and will help the Libraries achieve its vision of inspiring scholarship, creativity and innovative learning.

Gifts, regardless of their size, allow the University of Miami Libraries to enhance and preserve valuable collections, provide the highest quality research assistance, and create inviting spaces for learning and study.
