The LibraryPress@UF is a donor development opportunity, and so funds may increase with that. Also, as
more projects and ongoing programmatic work need more ways to reach people for public scholarship,
the work of the LibraryPress@UF is all the more critical.

internal reallocation of funds in the library.
