The Library Sustentation Fund, begun in May 11, 1881, was meant to collect monies to keep the Library in repair. A proper Library Fund was established in 1892. In 1942, it was clarified that the Librarian was in charge of the Library Fund, and the money was to be used for books. It is unclear when the Library Endowment Fund was created, but according to a minute from the 1950s, it was administered by the Librarian, and was built up primarily through the work of Librarian Bums Martin.
