LIBRARY NEWS

The library recently concluded its fall sale of discarded books (those titles deemed too old to support HCC's programs, employees, students and/or faculty).  Books were sold for twenty-five cents per volume.  All generated funds from this effort, $38.00, have been given to Lorie Maltby, Prof. of History and HCC Transfer Coordinator, to support the HCC History Club.  The library will resume its sale of discarded items in late January and it will continue throughout the remainder of the spring semester.  Recipients of the spring sale will be HCC's chapter of Phi Theta Kappa.
