Giving to Reed Library
There are three main avenues for supporting the John F. Reed Library. These include membership in the Friends of the Reed Library, giving to the Collections Endowment Fund, and Other Giving Opportunities. Each of these opportunities is discussed in the following areas. (Click on link for further information) Please make all checks payable to FLC Foundation.
Friends of the Reed Library: Friends of the Reed Library are individuals or groups from Fort Lewis College as well as from the larger community who support the programs and services of the Reed Library through membership dues and volunteering. A separate category of donation is through the Materials Endowment Funds. These funds are specific monies set up to purchase materials within subject categories. To become a member of the Reed Library Friends contact Ruth Fleming, Reed Library Admin. Assistant (fleming_r@fortlewis.edu) or call (970) 247-7250.
Collections Endowment Funds: Library funds have been established by FLC alumni, by parents and children of alumni, by faculty members, by classes, by corporations, by foundations, and by non-alumni Friends of the Reed Library. Today there are several endowed library funds. Some funds are dedicated to a particular subject. Some are spent at the Library Director's discretion, wherever the need is greatest. Recently, some donors have asked that the funds be used for information in various electronic formats, as well as books and periodicals—a trend the library encourages.

- Jeff Frisbie: In memory of former Science Librarian, Associate Professor, John F. Reed Library, 1994-2006.
