As a Friend of Wiggins Memorial Library, you will be an invaluable resource for students
on their journey toward Leading with Purpose. Your support will demonstrate your passion
for the power of our libraries to inspire and empower the Campbell community through our
collections, facilities, and services.
The Friends group is made up of alumni, faculty, staff, and other supporters of Campbell
University Libraries. Members carry out their work primarily through annual dues, special
gifts, and endowments that help bolster our circulating collection, fund new technologies,
and enhance our facilities.
