Friends of the Loyola · Notre Dame Library

In 2008, the library completed a two-year addition and renovation project, and library patrons are now enjoying attractive new open spaces that augment the library’s rich print, electronic and reference services. The enhancements have enabled us to offer the Loyola and Notre Dame communities and our neighbors an opportunity to share further in the life and resources of the library, through the Friends of the Loyola · Notre Dame Library. The Friends enhance the library’s community through support of its collections and special events.

Past events include an entertaining and educational wine tasting conducted by Paul Lukacs, Wine Editor of Saveur and Director of Loyola’s Center for the Humanities. Friends of the Library also received early notification of the 2010 Contemporary Catholic Writers Series Lecture, featuring Colm Tóibín, as well as an invitation to join small book discussion groups where participants discussed two of Tóibín’s novels.

Members have borrowing privileges of more than 370,000 print volumes and access to 270,000 e-books, 115 research databases containing 42,000 electronic journal subscriptions, as well as 14,600 video and DVD titles. Members may access the services of reference librarians by phone, by email, or through live chat.

The Friends of the Loyola · Notre Dame Library are alumnae/i, faculty, students and staff, as well as members of the community who recognize the importance of promoting the role of the library within the settings of Loyola University Maryland and College of Notre Dame of Maryland. Please join us as we strive to enhance the work of the Loyola · Notre Dame Library . . . and have some fun along the way!
