Established in 1938 by Dartmouth Professor Herbert Falkner West, the Friends of the Libraries gifts have supported us in expanding our resources.

Our Friends enjoy lectures and other programming that highlight research, new knowledge, and creative works nurtured by Dartmouth Libraries' rich holdings. These events are free and open to everyone.

The Mission

University libraries everywhere—including Dartmouth—continue to evolve rapidly to address emerging trends in technology, teaching and learning, and scholarly publishing.

Join a tradition that fosters the stewardship of information and the love of learning in all its forms by becoming a Friend of the Libraries. Your gift ensures that Dartmouth students, faculty, staff, and researchers will continue to have meaningful and enriching library experiences.
