In 1994, the University of Scranton formed The Friends of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Memorial Library. The Friends are library book lovers with a mission! They want to build an endowment in the name of the Friends, increase collections in the Library, encourage gifts and bequests and interest others in their work and in its importance to the future of the University and the local community of which it is a part.
