Giving to the Library

Lydia M. Olson Library is an intellectual hub enriching scholarship, creativity, diversity, and community engagement at Northern Michigan University. With your help, we can improve traditional library services, create a learning commons to support student success and retention, expand opportunities to engage students in cutting-edge technology, and improve community access to regional history.

We invite you to join us as we create our next generation library. Your gift benefits our students and community in many ways, including:

  • Expanding research opportunities through our print and digital collections
  • Creating a modern, accessible space to meet students’ functional, comfort, and aesthetic needs
  • Engaging students with new technologies, such as virtual reality and 3D printing
