Additions to the Library
from the Library Book Sale Fund
Nearly 3,000 items were sold at
the September 2014 library book sale. Proceeds
went to the book sale fund which supports library
programs and the purchase of materials and equipment.
Three
Collaborative Power Isles. These are mobile
power (nine outlets) and charging (six USB ports) units
that students can use to power computers and other
electronic devices. The units provide flexible
access to power for students and are located, generally,
in the northwest quadrant of the first floor.
Water Fountain. A
new water fountain is located in the area of the library
Café on the first floor. This fountain has water
bubblers at standard and ADA heights, as well as an
electronic eye activated water bottle filling station.
Since its installation this fall, students have filled
over 8,000 water containers at the site – saving the
production of a like number of plastic bottles! The library staff thanks the
Truman community for its support of the book sale
through donations and purchases. The book sale has
become a fall tradition and the next one is planned for
September 2015. Individuals who wish to donate
materials can bring them to the library, or contact the
library dean’s office at 660-785-4038 for delivery or
pick-up.
