The University of Waterloo Libraries empower the changemakers who are using their curiosity, courage and persistence to solve complex, global problems. The libraries advance the creation, discovery, sharing and use of knowledge through research, teaching and community collaborations. Your gift supports the acquisition and stewardship of distinctive collections, the enhancement of services to support researchers and students, and the development and care of the dynamic spaces across our libraries.
A group of Libraries supporters have come together to match donations up to $25,000 to the Library Next Generation Fund, which contributes to inclusive, dynamic spaces for study and collaboration.
As a central hub for students, our libraries support their learning, as well as physical and mental wellbeing. This fund supports updates to vital amenities that are crucial to student success, including furniture, technology and flexible space for collaboration.

This fund contributes to the evolving needs of scholars and researchers through the acquisition, diversification and stewardship of print and digital resources. This fund is critical to increasing access to information for our campus community and beyond.
