Our totals keep rising and the amount-per-person keeps dropping! If you’ve got 44 cents, you can help us finish the Million Pennies Campaign by the end of the summer! Or you can buy one of those infamous The Simpsons postage stamps from 2009. It’s up to you, really.

Our campaign donations now total $8,822.10, thanks to the $339.92 donated in May 2013 by our donors Lindsay Eckert, Clint Holloway, and Gabe Rees. How can you help? Bring your loose change (or cash or checks!) and drop it into the plastic cube at the Circulation Desk. When we reach our $10,000 goal, we’ll allow you, the contributors, to name a study room whatever you like in the newly renovated Library!** Every penny helps! (If you’re not familiar with the Campaign, check out original post on the library blog.) This summer, we’ll do a count of new contributions around the first of each month and announce the results here, as well as on Twitter, Facebook, and MilliganToday.

If you’re doing some belated Spring cleaning, we will also take your unwanted but gently used books, textbooks, DVDs, Blu-Rays, and audiobooks for our Million Pennies Book Drive, which also benefits the Campaign–in May alone, we made $53.42 from the sale of Library discards and donations alone. There are donation boxes in the library lobby and the hallway of the FOB. Thanks again, and please ask a member of library staff if you have any questions!

** A note from Gary F. Daught, Director of Library Services: It is exciting to think that we are so close to our goal. Obviously, the Library renovation project will require significantly more than $10,000 to complete, and it is still awaiting major funding even after the initial phase of Milligan College’s Forward Ever capital campaign was successfully concluded in June 2011. The Million Pennies Campaign was launched concurrent with Forward Ever to engage our users–particularly students–in this project in a way that was meaningful, accessible, and concrete. It is a small but tangible way for everyone to show their support for the Milligan College Library. I want to ‘second’ Jeff Harbin in thanking everyone who has contributed their pennies to date. Let’s see if we can reach our goal before the end of the school year!

Bad Joke Eel is on to something. If you’ve got 55 cents, you can help us end the Million Pennies Campaign by the end of the semester. And you don’t have to sit through “Candy Shop,” “How You Remind Me,” or any other cringe-worthy songs from your childhood!

Our campaign donations now total $8,482.18, thanks to the flabbergasting total of $643.00 donated in the past week! Thanks to our donors Darcie DeLong, Kate Handzlik, Clint Holloway, Shae Judge, and Matt Rees. How can you help? Bring your loose change (or cash or checks!) and drop it into the plastic cube at the Circulation Desk. When we reach our $10,000 goal, we’ll allow you, the contributors, to name a study room whatever you like in the newly renovated Library!** Every penny helps! (If you’re not familiar with the Campaign, check out original post on the library blog.) We’ll do a weekly count of new contributions every Tuesday and announce the results here, as well as on Twitter, Facebook, and MilliganToday.

Don’t have 55 cents to your name? We will also take your unwanted but gently used books, textbooks, DVDs, Blu-Rays, and audiobooks for our Million Pennies Book Drive, which also benefits the Campaign. There’s a donation box in the library lobby. Thanks again, and please ask a member of library staff if you have any questions!

…the Million Pennies Campaign, that is! All we need from you is 84 cents.

The Million Pennies Campaign for Library Renovation celebrated its 3rd birthday on April 1st, 2013. In those three years, our loyal library users contributed $7,823.68 toward our $10,000 goal.** So far this semester, you’ve contributed $451.50 to the Campaign, and we thank you for your generosity!

We’re very close to our goal–so close, in fact, that if every Milligan Library user donated 84 cents, we could end the Million Pennies Campaign today!

Bring your loose change (or cash or checks!) and drop it into the plastic cube at the Circulation Desk. If you’d like us to thank you by name, please write your name on one of the slips of paper provided. We’ll let everyone know about your generosity. When we reach our goal, we’ll allow you, the contributors, to name a study room whatever you like in the newly renovated Library!** Every penny helps! (If you’re not familiar with the Campaign, check out original post on the library blog.)  We’ll do a weekly count of new contributions every Tuesday and announce the results here, as well as on Twitter, Facebook, and MilliganToday.

Flat broke? We will also take your unwanted but gently used books, textbooks, DVDs, Blu-Rays, and audiobooks for our Million Pennies Book Drive, which also benefits the Campaign.

We’re proud to announce that you, our loyal library users, contributed $181.52 in cash and change to our Million Pennies Campaign in November and December 2012. We have now raised $7,372.58 since the start of the campaign in April 2010. Thanks for your generosity!

The Library staff would like to extend a hearty thank you to our most recent donors: Clint Holloway, Rebecca Miller, and Katie Siebenaler. Rebecca Miller is the winner of our monthly drawing, and she  receives the hardcover White Oleander by Janet Fitch. Congratulations, Rebecca!

Bring your loose change (or cash or checks) and drop it into the plastic cube at the Circulation Desk. If you’d like us to thank you by name, please write your name on one of the slips of paper in the tray next to the cube. We’ll let everyone know about your generosity. Next month’s prize is the 2004 paperback The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. We’ll draw a winner on February 1st from the names we’ve collected. When we reach our goal, we’ll allow you, the contributors, to name a study room whatever you like. Every penny helps!
