“What a tremendous resource the Cornell Library is for our campus, the community and the world at large.”
- Cornell University President David Skorton
Letter from the University Librarian
The library's mission is to lead the collaborative development of an academic information infrastructure to support preservation, discovery, transmission, and application of knowledge, creativity and critical thought.
Dear Friends:
Welcome to the Cornell University Library’s Alumni and Friends website. This site will provide you with information about how to make gifts to the library, our campaign priorities, and allow you to honor someone with a book in the library through our Honor with Books program. I hope you find this site useful and that you will consider making a gift to the Cornell University Library. Through the support of our alumni and friends, we are able to bolster our collections, develop new programs and services, and acquire special collections to enrich our holdings. I am ever thankful for the generous support we receive from our alumni and friends annually.
If you have any questions about making a gift please contact Jennifer Sawyer in our Library Alumni Affairs office. She can be reached at jds367@cornell.edu or at 607-255-9568.
Thank you again for your interest in the Cornell University Library.
Anne R. Kenney
