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.
