About the Library

Simpson Library constitutes the knowledge center of the University — a physical and virtual manifestation of the institution's mission of teaching, learning, research, and service. We continuously add materials to our collections each year to support the University's wide-ranging curriculum. The Library is an official government publications depository, and maintains a rare books collection, the University Archives, and an online digital repository.

Invest in Academic Excellence

Simpson Library is committed to supporting the University's mission of creating an environment where students, faculty, and staff share in the creation and exploration of knowledge. Our goals include:

• Developing the information literacy skills of students through classroom teaching and one-on-one interactions
• Building collections that support and enhance the University's curriculum
• Creating physical spaces within the library to support learning, collaboration, and research

By investing in the Library, your gift – no matter the size – will have considerable impact on the entire UMW community. We encourage you to make a gift to Simpson Library today.
