The donations made in the Library’s foundation years played a very important role. In 1958, the British Government, and in 1959 the US Government donated books to the Library. In these years some special tools and equipment were provided to the Library through UNESCO. The first important financial support of the Library was received from the United Nations on 26 October 1960. This support lasted four years as 25,000 USD per year. On 19 March 1962, CENTO provided a cash grant of 1.564 GBP for the purchase of books and journals. On 9 July 1963, the German Government, on 26 April 1964 the United States of America, and on 30 June 1965 the British Government donated books and magazines to the Library. From the donations made in these years; J. F. The Kennedy Memorial Collection (220 volumes) and the Winston Churchill Collection (1000 volumes) are the most important. http://lib.metu.edu.tr/more-
