Give now to the Carrier Library Campaign

“We’re past the halfway point of Carrier Library’s sweeping transformation — one that will benefit every student on JMU’s campus and match our rise to prominence as a national university.

This time next year, we’ll be busy moving in and preparing to open our doors for the Fall of 2026.

You can look forward to a renovation that honors historic details from the original 1939 library and features a lofty new atrium, technology-rich studios, spaces for collaboration, and reading rooms with stunning campus views.

At the heart of campus, the new Carrier Library will serve every student and major, support faculty research and teaching, welcome alumni home, and connect us with scholarship, media and cultures from around the globe.

I invite you to be part of it.”
