The
University Library is at the core of a college
student's educational experience. Libraries provide
the link between individual people and humanity's
recorded knowledge. Collegiate study and academic
research in the modern world requires library
resources - lots of them. The Paul Meek Library
is the one educational department on campus that
has no alumni. In order to maintain first-rate
service, the Library must rely on financial help
from all university alumni and friends.
