Everyone has a library story. What’s yours?
From scrolls to screens (and everything in between), we find delight in stories every day.
A warm introduction is the best beginning – we inspire tomorrow’s stories through our inclusive services and spaces.
Our quest: to empower exploration and spark crucial conversations. Will you help shape our library story?
Your gift starts our next chapter, which begins with words of gratitude: “Thank you.”
Give today.
Make your gift online or contact Ashley Orr, assistant to the dean, at aorr01@udayton.edu or at 937-229-4266.
