Josephine Nunnally gift benefits Boatwright Library
Boatwright Library has received a significant gift from the estate of alumna Josephine Nunnally. Her bequest of $100,000 has been placed in the Book-a-Year fund, where it will grow in perpetuity.

The Book-a-Year fund was established in 2003 as a restricted endowment fund; its income will be used to purchase books, journals and other materials for the libraries. Miss Nunnally, a Richmond native, graduated from Westhampton College in 1931. After earning a master’s degree in library science, she returned to the University and served as a cataloger from 1938 until her retirement in 1975. For more information, connect to Book-a-Year fund at: oncampus.richmond.edu/is/library/scholarcom/bay.html to find out how to contribute to its growth.
