Milligan College Library is proud to announce that you, our loyal library users, contributed $818.70 in cash and change to our Million Pennies Campaign in November 2011. We have now raised $5,478.62 since the start of the campaign in April 2010, which means we’ve exceed 50% of our goal!
The Library staff would like to extend a hearty thank you to our November donors: Paulette Anderson, Jeremy Behne, Ruth Cook, Bob Cox, Sterling Herron, Taft Hill, Tommy Parker, Ethan Quisenberry, Adam Tomlinson and Lauren Tomlinson. 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.
Paulette Anderson, Office Manager for Graduate and Professional Studies, is the winner of our monthly drawing. She will receive the paperback The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan. Congratulations, Paulette!
The next prize is the 2010 hardcover Saving CeCe Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman. Donate to the campaign, write your name on a slip of paper, and place it in the box at the Circulation Desk. On January 2nd, 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!
* Editor’s Note: The $10,000 we are seeking to raise through the Million Pennies Campaign is, of course, not nearly sufficient to fund the Library renovation project. That project will cost millions of dollars. This Campaign is intended to raise awareness of the larger renovation project while honoring the power of “small gifts” contributed each day by our users (students, faculty, and other members of the Milligan College learning community) applied to an attainable goal–the naming of a library study room. To this I also want to add my hearty Thank You!
