The Murphy Library Endowment FundThe Florence Wing Fund
The Murphy Library Endowment Fund is a pledge of excellence, shared by donors who believe that the library is a central part of the teaching and research mission of the university and an important educational and business resource in the community. A strong Library Endowment Fund, built on contributions of all sizes, ensures the continuing excellence of Murphy Library in the 21st century. The Florence Wing Fund has been developed to complement the existing Murphy Library Endowment Fund. It provides a less-restricted mechanism for awarding and distributing funds for short-term needs or bigger projects.
