Supporting the UCR Library just became a lot easier.

Recently, the library published an updated giving site, Support the Library, Transform the World, in collaboration with University Advancement.

The revised design prominently features the library's top six donation categories, and the development funds that tie directly to them:

• Student Success
• Research Excellence
• Creativity & Entrepreneurship
• Inspiring Spaces
• Imagination
• Cultural Heritage

“The UCR Library has a number of giving opportunities, and has had for a number of years. Our old giving site made it difficult for potential supporters of the library, our faculty, and our students to find the opportunities that those supporters were seeking,” explained University Librarian Steven Mandeville-Gamble.

“Our new site helps bring those giving opportunities to life in a way that is easy-to-navigate, compelling, and tells the story of how the UCR Library is supporting the teaching and research mission of the university … and how our supporters can enable us to succeed in that mission.”

Explore the library's new giving site and learn how every gift can make a difference.
