Friends of the Law Library
Thanks to the generosity of the members of the Friends of the Edward Bennett Williams Law Library program, the Georgetown Law Library is thriving. Through this program our alumni and friends help the Law Library provide exceptional collections and services.

| $30 | enables the Library to process a new book |
| $50 | pays for the digitization of 4 photographs for the Law Center Archives |
| $50 | pays for stress relief activities for students during the exam period |
| $150 | is the average cost of a new book |
| $500-5,000 | is the average price range of a rare book |
| $700 | buys a new chair in the library |
| $2,500 | buys chargers and other “Cool Stuff” to circulate |
| $2,500 | buys coffee for students during the exam period |
| $4,000 | employs a student assistant for the academic year (10 hours a week) |
| $10,000 | buys a water hydration station |
Members may use many of the databases available through the Law Library’s on-site public computers. However the Law Library does not provide Friends with Lexis, Westlaw, or Bloomberg Law passwords. Friends are not eligible for library borrowing privileges.
