[continue reading...]Welcome.
Libraries are more than the heart of the academic enterprise; they are where ideas and knowledge are shared, stored, and fostered. When you become a member of the Friends of the Loyola University Chicago Libraries, you participate in this exchange. As President of the Friends and an alumna, I know that our support of the libraries makes it possible to provide students, faculty, and alumni with resources to further their quest for knowledge.
The Friends group provides you with opportunities to learn, encounter books and authors, and share ideas. We encourage you to join us.
Karen K. Trimberger Brady (BA ’98)President, Friends of the Loyola University Chicago Libraries
