Become a Friend - Make a Gift

Every gift to the Library, no matter its size, supports NYU’s intellectual mission and every student, faculty, school and curriculum. Although the Library receives the major portion of its operating expenses from NYU’s general budget, it must raise substantial additional funds every year to purchase books and research materials requested by professors and students; to keep its technology current; and to invest in much-needed physical upkeep.

We invite your participation and encourage you to explore the ways to support NYU Libraries or to donate books or materials.
