Fisher Fund for Lavery Library

Supporting Student Success Through Access and Resources

Lavery Library is the intellectual heart of St. John Fisher University, providing students with essential resources, expert support, and a welcoming space to learn, discover, and grow. Your gift to the Fisher Fund for Lavery Library helps ensure that every student has access to the tools and services they need to thrive—both in-person and virtually.

Your generosity helps us:

  • Expand access to eBooks, textbooks, and online databases, ensuring students can access the information they need anytime, anywhere.
  • Provide expert research assistance and academic support, helping students build strong information literacy skills and succeed in their coursework.
  • Maintain and grow our special collections, including rare manuscripts, the Book of Kells, and original Frederick Douglass newspapers, preserving these important cultural and historical treasures for generations to come.

Your Impact

With your support, Lavery Library continues to be a trusted resource and essential partner in every student’s academic journey—a place where they can explore ideas, collaborate with peers, and receive the guidance they need to succeed.

Every gift to the Fisher Fund for Lavery Library empowers student success today and helps preserve Fisher’s proud academic legacy for the future.
