    Study Carrel Renovation Project 

    Your contributions make it possible to refurbish carrels in the W.E.B. Du Bois Library with new carpeting, desks, upholstered chairs, shelving, window treatments, and fresh paint. In appreciation, the Library will install a brass plaque on the door of the carrel honoring the donor or your designee.

    We invite you to consider adopting one of these quiet study rooms by making a gift at the $2,500 or $5,000 level. The carrels are available to graduate students, retired faculty, post-docs, and visiting scholars. “Day use” carrels have been set aside for the convenience of undergraduate students looking for quiet study space.

    For more information, contact Emily Silverman at (413) 545-0995 or friends@library.umass.edu.
