21st Century Library Technology Fund

In 2006, Lorrey Bianchi ’69 and his wife, Kathy Bianchi, donated funds to help establish the 21st Century Library Technology Fund. At the annual “Dinner with Friends,” they challenged other Library Friends to join them in building this fund.  Many people accepted the challenge that night and continue to do so. 

The proceeds of the 21st Century Library Technology Fund support technology and infrastructure initiatives, such as the Learning Commons and the multi-media center.

“Technology is a key enabler for access by students to the wealth of information and knowledge available to them at UMass Amherst.”  ~ Lorrey Bianchi ’69
