Library Donations Moratorium

The University of Lethbridge Library is not able to accept donations of books, journals or magazines for the main library collection at this time.  Several factors have led to this decision: the COVID-19 restrictions that have resulted in restricted access to campus, ongoing budget constraints and staff shortages. 

We will continue to consider significant gifts for Special Collections and Archives. Please contact Wendy Merkley, Associate University Librarian (wendy.merkley@uleth.ca) if you wish to discuss a donation of rare or archival materials.
