Giving to the Libraries

No one ever graduated from a library; no one ever graduated without one...

While the University of Tennessee is a state-assisted public institution, it receives less than one-third of its support from the state of Tennessee. The remainder of the university's budget comes from student tuition, fees, auxiliary enterprises, contracts, grants and charitable giving. Private gifts to university libraries can mean all the difference between offering basic services or providing world-class resources.

The University of Tennessee Libraries serves the university's undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Your gift to the libraries helps support the acquisition of new materials, preservation of collections, new technology, rare books and manuscripts, and more.
