W. Frank Steely Library

The W. Frank Steely Library empowers the NKU community and the region through barrier-breaking resources and services that foster an environment where visitors can explore their curiosities and find lifelong success.


A gift to the Steely Library supports opportunities like

  The Steely Library Excellence Fund supports collection and technology enhancements, updates to study spaces and interactive student activities that enhance learning and engagement.

  The Steely Library Makerspace provides a free, state-of-the-art workspace for students to explore their creativity and innovative thinking through project-based learning with 3D printers, laser cutters and engravers.

   The Textbook Affordability Program reduces the overall cost of higher education by making textbooks and other course materials accessible to all students.

  The Library Fellowship for Undergraduate Students provides opportunities for a diverse and talented group of students to work closely with a mentor team of library faculty on a research project of their choosing and explore librarianship as a career path.


The W. Frank Steely Library transforms people through information. Enrich NKU students' lives by making a gift today.
