You Can Support All Dukes on JMU Giving Day

Libraries connect people with ideas—and with opportunities to learn and grow. They’re where students and scholars draw on the wisdom of the past and help shape the future.

When the expanded Carrier Library reopens in August, it will be a vibrant hub of discovery and connection at the heart of campus, joining Rose Library, the Music Library, and the Educational Technology & Media Center in inspiring generations of Dukes.

JMU Libraries is more than a place—it’s a team dedicated to supporting every Duke.

On Giving Day, your gift to JMU Libraries directly supports all JMU students.

Every Duke relies on classroom technologies, research tools, and the other expertise and services the Libraries’ staff and faculty provide.

Your gift also supports our student employees, many of whom receive scholarships as they learn new skills and how to balance hands-on work in the library with their academic and social lives.

Every gift matters. Today, you can spark discovery and connection for every Duke. Your support of the Libraries helps everyone at JMU thrive.

“Working at the libraries has allowed me to build upon my organizational and communication skills, which will aid me throughout my career. I am truly appreciative of the job, skills, and friends this position has brought to me.”
