History

San Diego State University's Friends of the Malcolm A. Love Library was organized in l963 as an unincorporated organization, whose purpose is to promote the love of fine books and book collecting, issue publications at intervals, enhance the distinction and prestige of San Diego State University through enrichment of its library, and promote and encourage original research.

The Friends are highly supportive of Special Collections by way of obtaining materials for its collections, and sponsor luncheons, lecture series, and other activities. The collection includes correspondence, minutes of meetings, collection and gift information, activity and event information, publications, and financial statistics.
