We choose to give to the University of Houston Libraries as we believe it is one of the most important institutions on campus. Our donation benefits the multitude of programs and services the Library offers that enrich the lives of students, faculty, staff and the broader Houston community, both current and future generations. The Library brings information and culture within everyone’s reach, creating a more informed, engaged society. The ARL world-class UH Library also serves as a place for students to study, meet-up and relax and is a key part of every student’s education on campus with fond memories of their time at the University of Houston.

A key feature of our UH Library is that, because of the vast array of programs and services it offers, giving to the Library is very easy as donors can find a piece of that mission that speaks to their own interests and goals.
