Friends of Joyner Library
The Friends of Joyner Library was established to foster the role of Joyner Library as a university and global resource. The Friends sponsor programs focused on raising awareness of the library’s resources and support fundraising activities to develop and preserve collection development and facility upgrades.

The Friends of Joyner Library annual meeting was held May 7, featuring J.H. Rose High School graduate and NC Broadcasters Hall of Fame member Tom Campbell as keynote speaker. Check out photos and more of the 2024 Friends Meeting from the event on library social media.
