When future students open a book in one of York’s libraries, they could find your name inside.
Naming opportunities can recognize retirements, anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, professional honours or act as memorial tributes, and donors can choose to have their own name appear or choose an honouree. “Naming something at the library provides you the opportunity to celebrate a special person or event in your life,” says Tanling Yeung, chief development officer, libraries, for the York University Foundation. York University Libraries and the York to the Power of 50 fundraising campaign are committed to ensuring York’s six libraries provide a first-class learning and research environment. Gifts to York Libraries can also be designated to the library of your choice. As a faculty member your gift will count toward the Family Campaign in support of the York to the Power of 50 fundraising campaign — already at more than $150 million toward its $200 million goal. The Family Campaign plans to achieve a participation goal of 2,009 faculty, staff and retirees by 2009. At more than 1,700 supporters the campaign is well on its way. It’s an opportune time to add to this momentum and support York University Libraries. For more information on York to the Power of 50 and the ways you can support York Libraries, please contact Tanling Yeung, chief development officer, libraries, for the York University Foundation at 416-650-8210 or visit yorku.ca/foundation.
