Friends Of The Library
General Information
The Friends of the Hunter College Library was formed in 1990 to
ensure
the continued strength of Hunter
College's four-library system —
the Jacqueline Grennan Wexler
Library, the Health Professions Library, the School of Social Work
Library and the Art Slide Library.
The Friends provide
vital annual support for the Hunter College Library. The funds raised
through contributions, membership dues and special events enable the
Library to expand the educational resources offered to students, including
books, journals, reference materials, faculty lectures, videos and
CDs, Internet access, electronic databases and on-line research materials.
Members have the
opportunity to hear a variety of published writers
and other distinguished personalities. Past lecturers have included
Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Chang-rae Lee, Cynthia Ozick, Evan
Hunter/Ed McBain, Nobel laureate Rosalyn Yalow, Hugh Downs,
Lillian Vernon and Letty Cottin Pogrebin, to name just a few. Friends
also have access to the many library resources they have helped to
support.
