Donations
to the Advising Center
College, university, and institutional catalogs, CDs and videos are much appreciated by library users because Internet access via modem is expensive and slow in Peru. We will be glad to provide a U.S. APO address for shipment of small packages.
Donations of licensed software, computers, equipment, office and library furniture, is much appreciated and can be coordinated for U.S. dispatch.
