Friends of the Smith College Libraries

Student in the Special Collections stacks

The Friends have contributed to the growth and development of Smith’s Libraries since 1942. Annual membership dues, special gifts and bequests have helped meet diverse needs. As the curriculum and technologies evolve, and new scholarship emerges, the Libraries must adapt, and so the need for Friends remains vital.
