We cordially invite you to join the
Friends of the Library


Sunday Afternoon Programs

Our quarterly programs provide Friends the chance to rub minds and elbows with speakers outstanding in their fields.

The Friends of the Library is the major support group for Howard-Tilton Memorial Library at Tulane University. Each year the Friends sponsor informative and entertaining programs, exhibits, book sales, coffees and other events in the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library building and Jones Hall. These events promote the library's mission of supporting learning through books and manuscripts.

Membership in the Friends has many benefits. In addition to the satisfaction of knowing you are contributing to learning, knowledge, and the preservation of our recorded heritage, you receive...

invitations to special events, such as gallery openings, our book sale, and our special Sunday afternoon programs.

A free subscription to Watermarks, the library's newsletter.

A free subscription to the monthly Inside Tulane. Inside Tulane brings you news about campus events and happenings. It includes a calendar of campus events such as plays, concerts, and recitals.

Membership also entitles you to purchase a Howard-Tilton Memorial Library subscriber's card at a significant discount. This will give you use, check out and research privileges at a nationally renowned university research library with over two million volumes.

If you wish, you may allocate a portion of your dues to one or more of our special library acquisitions funds. This is a wonderful way to remember a loved one.

A membership in the Friends makes a wonderful gift. It will be especially appreciated by out-of-town New Orleanians because it will keep them abreast of Tulane activities.

Dues are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.

Memberships start at only $10 per year. For more information, call 504/865-5685, or contact Bill Meneray at meneray@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu. To join, simply print out and return the form below.

"Friendship for Libraries is enlightened self-interest."

Student Coffees

Our student coffees, held twice each year during exam week, show our concern for students trying to use the library as a refuge for studying during finals.


Annual Friends Awards

The Friends Awards honor deserving members of the library staff. Each year, the Friends honor an outstanding librarian, support staff member, and student worker.


Annual Staff Appreciation Dinner

Each April during National Library Week, the Friends host a dinner for library staff to show our appreciation for their hard work.  It is here that we present the Friends Awards.


Annual Book Sale

Eagerly anticipated as an excellent source of often hard-to-find books, the library's annual Fall book sale helps raise much needed collection development funds for the library.
