New discounts for UMRA members
UMRA members can now enjoy Twin Cities University Libraries borrowing privileges by joining the Friends of the Libraries at the annual membership level of $40—a discount of 50 percent! This level of membership includes unlimited access to online journals, magazines, and newspaper subscriptions via public workstations at any Twin Cities campus library. We have UMRA President Julie Sweitzer to thank for negotiating this new discount. Go to libnews.umn.edu/umnfriends/ to learn more and to join or renew your UMRA Friends of the Libraries membership.
