The Gift of Reading Continues: Brusco Endowment Provides Library With New Resources

Thanks to the generous endowment of Richard J. Brusco, Helen A. Brusco and Elizabeth E. Brusco, the McCallie-Kennedy Library was able to purchase 26 new books and DVDs this year, including a 6-volume American Civil War encyclopedia set.  

The Bruscos' endowment honors the memory of David J. Brusco (’67) and is used to enhance the library’s collection through the purchase of books, periodicals and other materials with preference given to the subjects of history, political science and English literature.
