Giving to the Library
Join Us for Giving Day: Support the University Library
On April 23, the Sonoma State community will come together for 24 hours of giving. Join us in strengthening the heart of our campus.
Empowering the Next Generation of Seawolves
The University Library is more than just a building; it is a hub for innovation, equity, and student success. As we look toward the future, your support on Giving Day ensures that every student has access to the tools they need to thrive—from essential textbooks to cutting-edge technology.
Our Priorities
Access to Course Textbooks and Learning Materials
No student should have to choose between buying groceries or buying textbooks.
Last year, we added 300 new textbooks and course materials to our collection, which students can access for free. With your help, we can continue to remove financial barriers and support academic success for every student. Your donation of just $100 can buy a textbook that can be used by an entire class of students.
Digital Creation Studios
Our students are makers, dreamers, and doers. Not every student has access to a high-end computer, camera, and editing software, but faculty report that these tools make a noticeable difference in the quality of students' digital creations.
Support hands-on learning by helping us create cutting-edge podcasting and video production studios. Every donation will support equitable access to high-end technology for Seawolves.
Student-Centered Spaces
Every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe.
Help us redesign spaces that support wellness, flexibility, and belonging—including more study areas, a low-sensory space to support neurodivergent students, more accessible service points, and an upgraded Family Study Room.
Why Your Gift Matters
The CSU is an engine for economic growth, and the library ensures that every student has access to information, tools and technology, and learning spaces that let them focus, collaborate, and create. Your support will help the University Library in the Jean and Charles Schulz Information Center to continue to evolve to support the needs of students today and tomorrow.
