Bookstore donates windfall to library The University library has about $1,000 more book-buying power than it did a week ago. The windfall came after the University Bookstore board decided to donate $940 of unexpected profits to the library. The bookstore received the money through the National Blankbook Company, a company that sells spiral notebooks and other school and office supplies through the store. Under a new policy, the company recycles 1 percent of its profits back into the store, says bookstore manager Jim Williams. The 11-member board, composed of eight students, two faculty members and one classified staff person, unanimously chose to donate the money to the library “because the library is in need of support and help," Williams says. The library has "a positive impact on all the members served by the bookstore,” he added. Head librarian George Shipman says he's pleased with the bookstore’s donation and the efforts of the University and the community to help the library. "It has a cumulative impact," Shipman says. “People automatically think of the library." The Druids, a junior honor society, also recently gave the library $100. Shipman called both donations “direct spin-offs” of a recent Emerald editorial calling for student donations to the library.
