Below is a list of donors and their donations to the UNTL Library Project.
Unfortunately we will be unable to include all donations, especially donations of small consignments of new books or collections of secondhand books. Also not included are database suppliers who have offered free access to their online services - the University does not yet have Internet access, so we will recognise these donors once these donations are activated.
Our thanks to all those donors.
