Financial contributions
Your contribution in support of the Library
Financial contributions help the Library purchase and subscribe to resources that directly support teaching, learning and research activities at Concordia University. They also help the Library grow its Special Collections by supporting the purchase of unique, rare, original materials that require special care and preservation.
