All we need from you is 31 cents!

31centsA donation of 31 cents from every Milligan Library user will get us to our goal of a Million Pennies, or $10,000, toward Library renovation! Our campaign donations now total $9,116.27, thanks to the $147.77 donated in July 2013. Thanks for your generosity!

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 count of new contributions around the first of each month this semester 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. There’s a donation box in the library lobby. 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 semester!

What can 36 cents get you?

FrenchCokeNot much, really. It can’t buy you a postage stamp. Or a song on iTunes. Or a Kindle Single. Or a Ferrari Testarossa. It used to be enough to buy a French Coke, but probably not anymore. 36 cents can’t even get you a theoretical 37-cent coin that would solve all our coinage inefficiencies. But your 36 cents will definitely get us closer to a fully renovated Library!

Our campaign donations now total $8,968.50, thanks to the $146.40 donated in June 2013 by our donors. The only name in the donation cube was Anna Lester, a 6th-grade Bible Bowler from Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Ky. Thanks, Anna!

(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 June alone, we made $133.90 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!

If you’ve got 44 cents, you can help!

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?

Got 55 cents?

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.

(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.
