All donors receive annual mailings from the library about current projects and initiatives. Book Gifts give you the opportunity to recognize a family member, colleague or friend while you also assist the development of broad and distinctive collections in the University Libraries. Book Gifts can target any collection of interest to you or the honoree. For contributions to the Gift Book Fund, we select books in the academic field of your choice and mark each with a commemorative bookplate. The bookplate is a lasting reminder of both the occasion or tribute and your contribution to the University Libraries.

If you wish, you can contribute to one of several existing University Libraries endowments that have been established by generous patrons to build specific collections, to memorialize colleagues, mentors or friends, and for other purposes. A named endowment insures your recognition as a significant library benefactor in perpetuity, although your endowment can be anonymous if you wish. You can create a permanent endowment for a particular purpose, such as facility renovation, or to help build library collections in a field or discipline of your choice. Endowments may also be designated as memorial or honorary gifts, which can be identified with your name as well as the person remembered or honored. If you donate funds to establish an endowment, you will be invited to meet with the University Librarian and others to discuss your wishes for the endowment.
