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 19 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.
