Board of Directors

The W&M Libraries Board of Directors is a group of supporters who are guided by the vision and goals of the Library as articulated by the Dean of University Libraries.  They work to secure funding and publicity for W&M Libraries, not only by their work in the libraries but by sponsoring events around the country. The Board meets twice a year, generally in conjunction with university-wide events. Just as the library is the heart of a great university, so the Board is the heart of this great library.
