WSU Libraries
We are the academic heart of Washington State University, with two libraries on the Pullman campus – Holland and Terrell Libraries and the Owen Science and Engineering Library, libraries at the WSU campuses in Tri-Cities, Vancouver, and Spokane, and the Energy Library in Olympia, WA. We serve not only students, but the faculty who instruct and mentor them, as well as the staff who help shepherd them through their academic careers and beyond.
The WSU Libraries maintain a collection of more than two million books and over 30,000 journal and magazine subscriptions, but our reach extends far beyond reading materials. Dedicated instruction librarians regularly teach during student sessions; our libraries house spaces conducive to individual and collaborative learning through state-of-the-art technology, moveable chairs, tables, and whiteboards; and, on the Pullman campus alone, we employ more than 100 student employees who are gaining valuable life skills while paying for their educations.
Support WSU Libraries
Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC) Development Fund
MASC’s primary responsibility is the acquisition, administration, and preservation of millions of items not in circulation. In addition to supporting acquisition and preservation, gifts to the MASC Development Fund enable the production of exhibits that introduce these collections to WSU and its surrounding communities.
Glenn Terrell Endowment for Excellence in Student Services
Named in honor of Dr. Glenn Terrell, WSU’s seventh president, this endowment provides crucial funding in a number of areas, including the acquisition of cutting-edge technology, the design and implementation of collaborative learning spaces, and access to a rich array of electronic and print resources.
Washington State University Library Excellence Fund
Unrestricted dollars enable the WSU Libraries to direct private support to the areas of greatest need, which change from year to year.
Philip and Elaine Barden Student Employment Endowment
Created by Diana and Tom Prenguber in honor of Diana’s parents, this fund provides funding to hire undergraduate and graduate students in the WSU Libraries.
