Library launches campaign Vol. The endowments provide a permanent source of funding for Library materials as only the interest earned on the fund is spent. Friends whose gifts help the Library meet this ambitious goal will be adding quality to the collections for generations of faculty and students.
Individuals can select the endowment they wish to support.
Currently, the Library has 13 endowed funds that support acquisitions, two funds that support preservation and restoration work, and four special purpose funds. Recently established endowments that are targeted for growth through the campaign are the Friends of the Library Endowment and the Oswald Tippo Library Endowment, which both support acquisitions.
