Edward G. Miner Library helps people achieve their goals, embrace change, and fulfill their dreams.

The Medical Center's founders placed the library right in the heart of the enterprise. Why? So it would be easily accessible to all. Students, residents, and faculty; clinicians, staff, and patients…all benefit from the library, its print and digital collections and its information experts…their innovative thinking, their dedication, and their compassionate service.

What does it take to be a library that not only nurtures the present, but also creates the future?

It takes resourcefulness, collaboration, commitment, accountability, and boldness.

It takes all of us – working together.

When you give to Edward G. Miner Library, you give to your school, your colleagues, and your community. Your gift helps inspire and enrich the lives of people now and for many years to come.
