USC Libraries
Happy Birthday to Leavey Library! When its doors first opened in 1994, the Thomas and Dorothy Leavey Library ushered in a new era for the contemporary library. At a time when laptop computers were far less common and desktop computers were large, cumbersome, and expensive, with limited software options, Leavey Library introduced students to the latest in computer technology and provided access to the fledging world of the internet – for the first time connecting and engaging students with the world wide web.
Today, 30 years after its opening, Leavey Library remains an important research and study space in the USC Libraries. Leavey Library provides students with extended hours for individual and group study, which is critically needed on our campus, and Leavey is a vibrant technology hub, providing spaces for film screenings, immersive digital media production, presentations, and videoconferencing.
USC Libraries are able to offer thought-provoking and innovative programs because of the support of our donors like you. Please consider continuing your support by making a gift to support USC Leavey Library or to one of the libraries special funds. Thank you for your support of the USC Libraries.
