For the Love of Charlotte: Building Student Success Through Research and Innovation

__
J. Murrey Atkins Library provides so much more than shelves full of books and journals. For more than 60 years, the library has been at the heart of campus life at Charlotte. It is where our community of scholars comes together for the collective pursuit of knowledge. In addition to our physical collections, we offer the best study spaces on campus, access to technology, a gaming lab, 3-D printing, video recording studios, and so much more. Our archives and special collections unit contains the university’s archives and a trove of local history dating back to Queen Charlotte herself. 


Up for the Challenge? 

__ 

The Atkins Library needs your support, Niners! Dean Jill Sexton is challenging alumni and friends to secure 49 gifts to the Atkins Library Fund to unlock her $1,000 bonus gift. A gift for the library is a gift for learning, innovation, and collaboration - give now!
. . . 

The Atkins Technology Fund enhances the technology equipment, hardware, and software that build Charlotte's library. Twenty gifts to this fund will unlock a generous $2,000 prize from Atkins Board Member Gary Rautenstrauch!

Help Atkins Library continue its support of ALL Charlotte students

Atkins Library Fund

The dean of the library uses this fund to support events and other initiatives of benefit to students, faculty, staff, and community programming. It helps pay for expenses not covered by the state budget. 

Your support of this fund can bring in nationally recognized exhibits, such as those from the National Library of Medicine. It can cover honoraria for guest speakers, cost-share collaborations with community partners, and events and programming for all of Niner Nation.
