Friends of the Libraries

At Carnegie Mellon University Libraries, we don't just keep pace with change; we set it.

The 2025-2026 academic year marks a pivotal chapter in our journey to define the library of the future — one that's intricately aligned with the needs of a leading research university. As a destination for discovery, our libraries have expanded their role in the research enterprise, supporting scholars at every stage of the research lifecycle. We connect researchers to essential datasets, provide guidance on AI infrastructure and help identify collaborators and funding opportunities. By advancing data literacy, promoting transparent research and fostering open science, we accelerate the pace and impact of CMU's scholarly work.

Your gift to the Friends of the Libraries Fund helps make this possible — supporting innovative digital resources, preservation of unique collections and new services that empower our students and faculty to push the boundaries of knowledge.
