If desired, a book will be added to Morley Library's collection in a specific subject bearing both the donor and honoree's name. The capital in this fund is never spent; the interest from the account is used to purchase materials for the Library. This is the most popular giving option..

Building Fund The money in this fund is used for capital building and land improvements beyond the scope of a yearly budget. Both capital and interest can be expended. For instance, it has been used for repaving the parking lot, planting trees and to help finance the new building. Gifts are accepted into this fund, and can be earmarked in someone's memory or to honor a special person.
Trust Fund The Trust Fund is legally considered an expendable trust fund. As such, the capital can be spent. There are several ongoing gifts from the Morley Family that support this fund. In addition, The Library has received gifts over the years that have been earmarked for special purposes and are so used. The Trust Fund purchases are used for extra things that make Morley Library the exceptional service organization that it is. The money has been used in the past for furniture, equipment such as microfilm reader/printers, and even for the down payment for the Bookmobile.
Wish List Gifts Morley Library maintains a list of special items it would like to have. It includes a motorized cart for use by less-ambulatory patrons, etc.
