Who Are the Friends?
The Friends of the UNH Library is a non-profit, volunteer organization whose members take a strong interest in promoting and supporting the activities of the University Library. All are welcome to join!

Friends Make a Difference
As the University of New Hampshire’s reputation as a major research center has grown, so has that of the library. Our admission to the elite Boston Library Consortium, a cooperative association of 18 academic and research libraries that share resources, is proof. The Friends play a major role in developing the University’s research collections: from donating early New Hampshire imprints to acquiring the manuscripts of Pulitzer Prize-winning poets. We have acquired online databases, technology resources, rare books and archival matierals that ensure that the UNH Library meets the ever-changing needs of the community.

The Friends also sponsor programs throughout the year to promote the cultural and intellectual richness of the University and the community. From the New Hampshire Authors' Series to documentary film screenings to Poet Laureate receptions, Friends programs help friends to get acquainted and share their interests while emphasizing the development of the Milne Special Collections.

If you're interested in more information or, would like to join the Friends, please contact Tracey Lauder at 603-862-3041.
