Gifts to Reimagining Ball State University Libraries contribute to...

About

The Ball State University Libraries are vibrant centers for learning, discovery, collaboration, and innovation. Every day, students, faculty, staff, and members of our local community rely on the University Libraries to access valuable resources, explore new ideas, conduct research, and connect with others. With your generous support, we can continue transforming our libraries into welcoming, modern, and inspiring environments that meet the evolving needs of our campus and community. Your contribution will help us build upon our commitment to providing exceptional spaces, services, and collections that empower academic achievement, lifelong learning, and personal growth.

The left panel captures two students examining historical maps in a flat-file drawer in the GIS and map collection room. The center panel shows a collaborative study group seated around a large wooden table with laptops, notebooks, and an iced drink in front of brick walls and large windows. The right panel shows a student staff member assisting a patron at an informational service desk with a computer monitor.


Your gift will help advance important initiatives designed to enhance the University Libraries experience for everyone. Our goals include improving study and collaboration spaces, expanding access to innovative technologies and specialized resources, strengthening our physical and digital collections, and developing services that support student success, faculty research, and community engagement. Whether it's creating more comfortable and flexible learning environments, providing access to essential research materials, or introducing new opportunities for hands-on learning and creative exploration, your support will help ensure that the University Libraries remain a cornerstone of the Ball State experience for generations to come.

On the left, a tall male student wearing glasses, a white-and-orange sports jersey, and a backpack examines an item alongside two female students. The center student in a red shirt holds up a game box, while the student on the right holds small boxed games. Behind them, library shelves are packed with popular board games like Catan, educational kits, and materials in hanging clear plastic bags.


Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference.

Together, we can create opportunities that inspire curiosity, encourage collaboration, and remove barriers to knowledge and academic success. Join us in supporting the Ball State University Libraries as we continue to grow, innovate, and serve our campus and surrounding community. Your generosity today will help us create a stronger, more accessible, and more inspiring library experience for tomorrow.
