Food for Fines!

It's that time of year again when you can feed the hungry and pay off your library fines at the same time! During the week of November 10-16, $1.00 will be removed from your fines for every canned or non-perishable food item you donate. Just bring your donations to the circulation desk at Blackwell Library! The offer is good for up to $5.00 in fines and donations will not be accepted in lieu of lost books. Oh, and make sure those food items are not expired!

Not sure if you have a fine? Ask at the circulation desk or check through the "My Account" feature of the library catalog.

Gifts to the Library!

Blackwell Library recently received two very generous donations and we would like to publicly express our gratitude. One gift of $10,000 was received from Margarette H. Eley of Dover, Delaware, while a gift of $5000 came from Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Layton of Salisbury.

Dean Alice Bahr said the following about gifts in our latest newsletter:

"Every gift the library receives is appreciated. A book, a monetary donation, funds to acquire a specific piece of equipment—they all improve library services. Generous donors provide more than physical gifts, however; they affirm the value and importance of libraries in their life and the lives of others. The thought does count. [These donations] to Blackwell Library will defray essential collections costs and make new resources and services possible."
