MANN LIBRARY ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN
After over a decade of planning, the Mann Library addition is under construction. The addition is the first stage of a complex project which also includes the complete renovation of the existing Mann Library. New York State has provided the funds to improve the physical "shell" for this important facility and a capital campaign is under way to raise $4 million in endowment to sustain for the future the incredible work that occurs inside the walls of Mann. This endowment will support three fundamental functions of Mann Library: Acquisition of books and journals, preservation of the collections, and technological innovation for the "digital" side of this globally renowned library.
Gifts of all sizes are welcome. To recognize gifts of $5,000 and above to the endowment, there are many naming opportunities throughout the library which can be used to permanently honor the donor or someone of the donor's choice.
