As a Friend of Wiggins Memorial Library, you will be an invaluable resource for students on their journey toward Leading with Purpose. Your support will demonstrate your passion for the power of our libraries to inspire and empower the Campbell community through our collections, facilities, and services.
The Friends group is made up of alumni, faculty, staff, and other supporters of Campbell University Libraries. Members carry out their work primarily through annual dues, special gifts, and endowments that help bolster our circulating collection, fund new technologies, and enhance our facilities. The Friends recently funded an Archival Reading Room.
Check out an unlimited number of books, three DVDs plus one video game at a time, music CDs, and selected technology items. Take advantage of several special collections as well.
While not exclusive to Friends, access to Campbell's Digital Archives offers student newspapers, yearbooks, sermons, and more going back to the 1880s. The inviting Periodicals Reading Room and Theological Reference area are hugely popular, and tinkerers will enjoy the Idea Lab/Makerspace, which houses 3-D and poster printing along with assorted tools and materials for crafts.
Enjoy an annual fall dinner with other supporters plus Campbell faculty, staff, and students. Each year, a distinguished guest speaker addresses the Friends on a topic related to a current library special event or exhibit.
Stay up-to-date with the Friends newsletter, Newsline, where you'll read about library outreach and the far-reaching impact of our instructional faculty on campus and at conferences.
