Million Pennies Campaign raises $160.81 in October 2012!

We’re proud to announce that you, our loyal library users, contributed $160.81 in cash and change to our Million Pennies Campaign in October 2012. We have now raised $7,191.06 since the start of the campaign in April 2010. Thanks for your generosity!  We received an extra bump this month from donations by authors participating in Celebrating Milligan Authors, our 2012 Homecoming event.

The Library staff would like to extend a hearty thank you to October’s donors: Tim & Jamie Hatfield, Jonathan Herd, Clint Holloway, Jen Patten, Josh Ramsaran, Gabe Rees, Erin Roland, and Adam Tomlinson. Adam Tomlinson is the winner of our monthly drawing. He will receive the hardcover The Brick Testament: Stories from the Book of Genesis. Congratulations, Adam!

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 1999 hardcover White Oleander by Janet Fitch. We’ll draw a winner on December 3rd 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! (If you’re not familiar with the Campaign, check out original post on the library blog.)

Incidentally, we will also take your unwanted but gently used books, DVDs, Blu-Rays, and audiobooks for our Million Pennies Book Drive. There’s a donation box in the library lobby. Thanks again!

New Community & Alumni Borrowing Cards

ImageAs of July 16th, 2012, all alumni and community borrowers must obtain a laminated Milligan identification card from the Milligan Information Technology (IT) Department to continue enjoying borrowing privileges. This change will bring the library’s identification system in line with other Milligan departments. All alumni and community accounts associated with paper-based cards will expire on July 16, 2012, even if the original expiration date on the account is later than that date.

To obtain a new card, simply visit the Milligan IT Office—they’re open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and they’re located on the lower level of the Student Union Building. No appointment is required to receive your new card, and the cards will not feature your photograph, so don’t worry if you’re not feeling photogenic!

This change affects Milligan alumni and community borrowers only.  Students, faculty, and staff can continue to use their Milligan-issued IDs, and Emmanuel Christian Seminary students, faculty, and staff, can use their valid ECS IDs once Milligan library staff create accounts for them in person.

Please contact Jeff Harbin, User Services Librarian, at jeharbin@milligan.edu or 423.461.8495 with any questions. Have a great summer!
