Why Your Support Matters

All good research and scholarship performed at a university begins and ends with its libraries. Through our commitment to excellence, we serve as an indispensable intellectual resource for LSU, the state of Louisiana, and communities worldwide. Every gift to LSU Libraries strengthens our ability to:  

  • Preserve unique collections that tell the story of Louisiana and beyond.
  • Empower students with resources for academic success, including study spaces and technology.
  • Provide expert guidance through research consultations, workshops, and more.  

This year, we are prioritizing the following funds for Giving Day 2025: 
  • Library Excellence Fund
  • Special Collections Acquisitions and Support Fund 

Your contributions to these funds allow us to create and share resources, learning opportunities, and programs. Without the partnership of loyal LSU alumni, faculty, and other generous benefactors like you, we could not provide vital instructional and research materials demanded by today's students and faculty at Louisiana's flagship institution.

This LSU Giving Day, your gift will strengthen the winning teams that drive the LSU Libraries forward. Thank you for your support!
