We’re proud to announce that you, our loyal library users, contributed $73.83 in cash and change to our Million Pennies Campaign in September 2012. We have now raised $7,030.25 since the start of the campaign in April 2010. That puts us over 70% toward our goal of $10,000!
The Library staff would like to extend a hearty thank you to our most recent donors: James Bowman, Ben Carpenter, Angela Highfield, and Josh Ramsaran. James Bowman is the winner of our monthly drawing. He will receive the 
paperback Life of Pi by Yann Martel. Congratulations, James!
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 2003 hardcover The Brick Testament: Stories from the Book of Genesis. We’ll draw a winner on November 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! (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.
