Fresno State Library
Give to the Library
The Fresno State Library is more than a place to study—
—it’s the dynamic heartbeat of campus. Library services encourage discovery, creativity, and connection between students and their futures. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us empower students, faculty, and the Central Valley community with the resources they need to succeed. Your support ensures that the Library remains a leader in access, collaboration, and active learning.
By directing your gift to one of the following Library funds, you can make a meaningful impact on the areas that matter most to you:

From laptops to books, from leisure reading to library instruction, your gift supports student-centered services, innovative programs, technology upgrades, and critical resources that benefit the entire campus. The Library Annual Fund gives us the opportunity to meet student needs as they arise.

Music & Media provides scores and recordings in many genres of music, checks out technology for audiovisual production and virtual and augmented reality, and provides access to high-end computers that students can use to create and edit their own media. Your gift enables us to empower our students to build skills and careers in music, art, design, audiovisual production, performing arts, and other creative fields.
