KNOWLEDGE CREATION AND PRESERVATION


At UH Libraries, we are redefining the research library—a place where ideas intersect, spaces inspire creativity, and connections thrive. Your Giving Day support drives this transformation, helping us cultivate a vibrant culture of research and learning that benefits students, faculty, scholars, and the broader Houston community. Together, we can shape the future of UH Libraries and create a lasting impact.


LIBRARY DEAN’S FUND 


Your gift to the Library Dean’s Fund provides critical support by addressing the most urgent needs of UH Libraries. This unrestricted fund empowers the Dean to allocate resources toward: 

  • Enhancing immersive study and engagement spaces that foster collaboration and innovation. 
  • Expanding research collections to inspire discovery and support groundbreaking research. 
  • Supporting staff in the daily operations of the Libraries and advancing impactful programs that enrich academic experiences. 

By supporting the Library Dean’s Fund, you help reimagine UH Libraries as a dynamic hub where ideas converge, spaces inspire, and people connect. 


Join us in creating a legacy of knowledge and discovery—support the Library Dean’s Fund today!
