Magale Library

Magale Library Friends

Magale Library is an essential part of the educational experience at Southern Arkansas University.  Last year more than 211,000 people visited the library, and many more were able to conduct research from their home computers because of the electronic databases and online periodicals provided by the library.  Magale Library serves SAU students and faculty and community members of southwest Arkansas by providing, in addition to the electronic resources, more than 150,000 books, an extensive media collection, and support for cultural programs.

You are invited to join Magale Library Friends for 2007-08.   The Magale Library Friends group was established during 2005 to help Southern Arkansas University’s library better meet the needs of its patrons.  The first year (2005-2006) was a great success with 141 charter members contributing more than $52,000.  2006-2007 was even more successful, raising over $74,000!  Because of the generosity of our Friends, the enclosure and remodeling of our 3rd floor balcony was completed in the Spring of 2007.  The additional space provides and attractive area for study (see photos).

Please consider this opportunity to contribute to academic excellence at Southern Arkansas University.  Questions?  Please call (870) 235-4171 or (870) 235-5068.
