Million Pennies Campaign raises $19.50 in September 2011

Posted on by

Milligan College Library is proud to announce that you, our loyal library users, contributed $19.50 in cash and change to our Million Pennies Campaign in September 2011. We have now raised $3,295.78 since the start of the campaign in April 2010, which means we’re getting ever closer to 1/3 of our goal!

The Library staff would like to extend a hearty thank you to our September donors: Doris Bailey Douglas, Justin Hill, Gabe Rees, and Brennan Tracy. Remember, if you’d like us to thank you by name, please write your name down on the slips of paper in the tray next to the donation box, and we’ll let everyone know about your generosity!

Community borrower Doris Bailey Douglas is the winner of our monthly drawing. She will receive the paperback Resident Aliens by Stanley Hauerwas and William H. Willimon. Congratulations, Doris!

The next prize is the 2010 hardcover America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag by Sarah Palin. Donate to the campaign, write your name on a slip of paper, and place it in the box at the Circulation Desk. On November 1st, we’ll draw a winner from the names in the box!

We still need your help in raising funds to help us reach our goal of a totally renovated library. Bring your loose change and help us get closer to $10,000. Remember, when we raise the money, 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. And remember you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter as well. Thank you!

Homecoming Book Sale Art Contest: Display your art & WIN MONEY!

Posted on by

Can you produce a work of art that’s better than Ol’ Sticky here? If so, the library would like to see it!

Yes, the library is once again having an art contest! The 4th Annual Homecoming book sale is coming up and we’re looking for a creative student to put his or her talents to work to design the promotional material for the library’s biggest event of the year.  If you win, your original work will be the poster and postcard image for this year’s sale. Additionally, the winner will receive 2.5% of the book sale proceeds! Last year, that was about $50, but thanks to your eye-popping image, we expect this year’s sale to be bigger and better!

Entries must be two-dimensional, no larger than 11” x 17”, submitted in a sealed envelope (with contact info and a brief bio) to Jeff Harbin by 5:00 PM Friday, September 30. You may also email submissions to jeharbin@milligan.edu. The library staff will add text regarding the book sale to your image. Entries are limited to current Milligan students only.

For a little inspiration, you can check out our 2009 and 2010 contest winners, and see a full gallery of last year’s submissions on our Facebook page.

If you have any questions please contact Jeff Harbin, User Services Librarian, at jeharbin@milligan.edu or 423-461-8495. We are excited to see and display your artwork!
