For many years, the Library has benefited from the generosity
of scores of individuals who have donated funds as well as
materials for our collections and our annual book sale. We are
indebted to our Friends of the Library for their
generous donations. Please visit our
Honor Roll of Donors.
Library Volunteers
UW-Waukesha has also been the beneficiary of many wonderful volunteers who give
countless hours of their valuable time each year to Library and Media Services.
Library Volunteers
help us with a variety of critical tasks including new and gift
book processing, inventory, shelving, and many special projects.
Our current volunteers are listed below. Please visit our
Honor Roll of Volunteers.
Library Book Sale
The Library receives collections of donated
materials from friends and alumni throughout the year.
Donated items that are not added to the collections of the
UW Colleges libraries are, with the donor's permission,
typically sold during our popular annual
book sale which is organized and run by the
UW-Waukesha Foundation and the Friends of the Library. Our
annual sale starts the Monday following Thanksgiving and runs
through the end of (Fall) finals week.
