Library Support
Kwantlen's vision for our libraries is one of dynamic, welcoming, intellectual, and social gathering places dedicated to successful working, teaching and learning. That means keeping pace with technological advancements, as well as being responsive to the continually changing needs of a diverse community of learners, interpreting and supporting their different learning styles.
Kwantlen's libraries are located on each of our four campuses to serve our diverse programs and communities. With the success being experienced by the University and with additional programs offered, demand for program specific collections continually outstrips resources.
Kwantlen is undertaking an active fundraising program to acquire library collections to support new program offerings and the increasing number of students attending Kwantlen. At this time the library requires financial support to address issues related to collections development to meet the needs of on-going and new programs.
There are a variety of ways your donations can support Kwantlen's Libraries – from the purchase of books to endowed collections, or from online resources to capital projects. Recognition programs are available, including book plates, which will remind learners in years to come of your commitment to education.
Making a gift to the Kwantlen Libraries will help us maintain excellence in each field of study — now and in the future.
