A better future starts with libraries. A better future starts with you.
#McGill24 était de retour le 13 mars 2024. Pour la neuvième année consécutive, les membres de la communauté internationale se sont rassemblés à l'occasion de la journée de générosité de McGill en faisant un don pour soutenir une cause qui leur tient à cœur. Les dons de la bibliothèque, quel qu'en soit le montant, ont permis de débloquer des fonds pour un avenir meilleur avec :
des espaces dynamiques des services de pointe des collections de classe mondiale et plusThe future of the McGill Library | Fiat Lux
Generously supported by the Friends of the Library, the Fiat Lux Library Project is the culmination of an exhaustive planning process to match McGill’s 21st century needs. It proposes a newly reimagined McLennan-Redpath complex and will be a light-filled, open-concept space that favours flexibility and multifunctionality to support different modes of learning, as well as health and well-being.
The impact of giving to the Library
Gifts to the Library have an immediate impact, providing students with the tools they need to nurture their curiosity, achieve academic success and go on to fulfilling careers. The following are just a few of the many things made possible through recent donations.

Bourke Rare and Special Children’s Literature Collection – used in teaching and learning and available online as a digital collection.
- Student internships in the McGill Visual Arts Collection (VAC) – gives students the chance to gain valuable work experience while also helping with the day-to-day management of over +2,500 artworks as well as outreach and art education initiatives.
- The Michele Larose-Osler Artist-in-Residence programme – promotes interaction with the Osler Library’s history of medicine materials in new and surprising ways.
