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 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 24, 2010. 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.

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!

The Milligan College Library is proud to announce that you, our loyal library users, have contributed $134.16 in cash and change to our Million Pennies Campaign in August  2010.  We have now raised $570.66 since the start of the campaign in April 2010!

The Library staff would like to extend a hearty thank you to our August 2010 contributors–if we only knew who they were!  Despite the generous donations, not a single person put their name in the box.  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 box, and we’ll let everyone know about your generosity!

Many of you have seen the results of our Summer 2010 library remodeling in person, or have viewed the pictures on the Milligan College Library Facebook page.  What you may not know is that these remodeling efforts are a very small part of the full library renovation. So we still need your help in raising funds to help us reach our goal!  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 haven’t seen the summer renovations yet, what are you waiting for?  Come on down, grab a cup of coffee, and have a seat in one of our new comfy chairs.  Remember to follow us on Facebook and Twitter. We hope to see you soon!
