Become a Friend

The Friends of the TCU Library play an important role in supporting acquisitions and operations for the Library. Become a part of a legacy that began when the Friends were founded in 1972, and meet like-minded individuals who share your interest in TCU’s Library. You'll be invited to regular events at the Library featuring TCU faculty speaking about their latest research in topical subjects, participate in the annual TCU Texas Book Award, stay up to date on happenings around the Library and be part of the intellectual heart of TCU.

We are always interested in new Friends and hope you will consider joining us!
