UW Libraries - LeRoy and Mildred Brooks Endowed Fund

The purpose of the Endowment is for discretionary use as determined by the Dean of University Libraries.

Mildred and LeRoy met at the Southern California Telephone Company and were married in 1939. They had an extensive library in their home.

Active in their community, they were members of the Order of the Eastern Star, The Sierra Club, and volunteers at Shriner's Hospital for Children.

LeRoy graduated from the University of Washington in 1918 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. To honor their love of libraries, LeRoy and Mildred Brooks left their estate to the University Libraries.
