Frazier notes that the gift "will help us continue celebrating books for a long time to come." The gift follows on the heels of the Friends campaign to recognize the acquisition of the UW-Madison’s six millionth volume and to renew an interest in books.
The income from the endowment will be used to purchase books, manuscripts and other scholarly research in all formats that support teaching and research at UW–Madison.
Gifts to the fund may be made by making checks out to "UW Foundation – Endowment for the Book" and mailing them to:
University of Wisconsin Foundation
P.O. Box 8860
Madison, Wis. 53708-8860
