Friends of the Library Endowment Fund

One constant at the University of Pennsylvania Library has been the commitment of donors to building Penn's collections. Starting with Lewis Evans' gift of two books in 1750, individuals and groups of donors have supported the Library throughout its long history.

The Friends of the Library Endowment Fund provides funding for acquisitions for the Rare Book & Manuscript Library.

Materials purchased through this fund include:

Portraits de députés.
Comte de Valmont, ou les égaremens de la raison
Art de faire le beurre et les meilleurs fromages
