Library Associates Annual Giving Society

In honor of Geisel Library’s 50th anniversary, we are proud to announce the creation of UC San Diego Library Associates. The Library Associates is comprised of alumni, faculty, staff, parents, and dedicated community members who recognize that the Library is at the heart of UC San Diego’s entire academic mission. Library Associates include donors to any Library fund who provide critical support for us to meet immediate and long-term goals that ensure the Library continues to serve all of our constituencies and communities.

Library Associates will be invited to partake in our yearlong celebration of virtual activities and lectures, as well as special events; keep up with Library happenings through Explore magazine and e-newsletters; help the Library support student success; and support the expansion and preservation of its collections and resources. A gift of any size to any Library fund will make you a Library Associate today!
