Advancing the Libraries

SUPPORTING OUR MISSION

Since March 2020, the world has become a different place. In these unprecedented times, we have appreciated hearing from many of you who have reached out with words of encouragement as we closed our libraries.

MARY RETTIG

We spent the summer preparing to reopen and, now that students have returned to campus, our focus is on keeping them safe, along with our staff and all in the campus community who visit our libraries.

Due to COVID-19, learning environments in schools and universities worldwide have changed, combining in-person with online coursework. In response, our staff have worked hard to ensure the free flow of information, library resources, and expertise. Your support is instrumental in our ability to continue fulfilling our mission.

Thank you alumni, donors, and friends for your ongoing interest in and support of the UI Libraries.
