Creating a library book endowment is a long-lasting way of showing your support for the University of Houston Libraries. Endowments are created with a donation of $10,000 or more. The contribution is invested and will earn valuable interest in perpetuity. The Library then uses a percentage of the accrued interest to purchase books, while the remaining interest is reinvested into the endowment to ensure continuous growth. Book endowments can be created in the subject area of your choice, and each book purchased using money from the endowment bears a specially designed, individual bookplate.
