    #GivingTuesday UNC Wilmington November 28, 2023

    Greetings,

    Randall Library’s 80,000-SF expansion is nearing completion!  The new building, just west of the existing Randall, will be finished in late spring and renovations to the existing building will be completed in summer.  Both buildings will be ready for students arriving in Fall 2024!

    While we pride ourselves on a wide variety of technology-rich spaces and a growing collection tailored to the needs of students, faculty and staff, Randall Library is more than the building and the collections it houses. Randall faculty and staff continue to develop new services and expertise that will move teaching, research, and scholarship forward so that Randall will truly be the intellectual heart of the campus.

    As part of Like No Other: The Campaign for UNCW, your annual gift will contribute to these new services, spaces, and resources, allowing the library to respond quickly to the changing needs of our students and faculty. We hope that you will consider a gift for #Giving Tuesday or any other day - it will truly make a Randall a library like no other!

    Thank you for your support.

    Lucy Holman
    Associate Provost and Dean of the Library
