Class Gifts Benefit University Libraries

I very much enjoyed reading the article "Class Gifts: The Beloved, Bizarre, and Bulldozed" in the May issue of the Penn State Alumni Association's AlumnInsider online magazine. Many graduates have decided to honor the University Libraries by donating books, study spaces, and other items for the Libraries. Many thanks to these Classes for their contributions!

This year the University Libraries are celebrating 150 years of service to the Penn State community. If you would like to make your own contribution, you may donate here.

Spring 2009 graduates, don't forget to join the Alumni Association and to check out the Alumni Library.
