Giving Opportunities

Build Fogler’s Acquisitions Capacity
Provide the Lifeblood for a Healthy Library
Acquiring the latest resources keeps a library relevant and ensures that the UMaine community has access to research and information.

Provide Support for Digital Subscriptions
Keep Windows to the Digital World Open
The library is the access point for thousands of research databases and digital resources. Each requires a subscription fee that could be prohibitive to individuals. Your support will keep these windows to the world wide open.

Upgrade Fogler’s Main Building
Secure the Heart of Campus for the Future
For countless members of the UMaine community, past and present, Fogler Library is — and has long been — “the third place” in their lives, behind the places they call home and work. Fogler is a quiet venue for research, study, reading, and gathering. Support the needs of this 1940s-era facility by helping provide for its ongoing maintenance and upgrade needs, securing this landmark for decades to come.

Digitize Unique Collections
Preserve the Past
Digitalizing our Special Collections content is an important way to preserve these incredible, and often historically significant, resources and make them accessible to a wider audience.

WAYS TO GIVE

The Fogler is a treasure, and we hope it will continue to be as important to future generations of students as it was to us. It needs to grow, and for this to happen it needs the support of the University and the citizens of Maine. Stephen ’70, ’87 Hon. L.H.D. & Tabitha King ’71, ’87 Hon. L.H.D.
