Support our Growth

James Madison University’s ascent to national prominence demands a Carrier Library that matches our our irrefutable rise.

To compete for top students and faculty, we must renovate and expand Carrier into a dynamic hub for learning, research and collaboration. Modern libraries are no longer just book repositories — they’re vital centers where ideas are pursued, created and shared for the common good.

As JMU’s most-visited building and largest learning space, the new Carrier Library will become the heart of campus life — uniting students and faculty across disciplines to solve problems, spark innovation and shape a better future.

  • explores the most innovative approaches to discovery and
  • forges ties to scholars, media and cultures around the globe.
