The Annual Friends of the Michigan Tech Library used book\u00a0sale, held 6\u20137 April 2018, raised more than $3,300 for the\u00a0library, which uses the funds to support the popular reading\u00a0collections, as well as purchasing equipment and special\u00a0furnishings. Book sale funds also provide travel grants to\u00a0researchers who use the University Archives and Copper\u00a0Country Historical collections, and help to support a\u00a0competitive summer intern position. As always, the Michigan\u00a0Tech community supported the sale, by attending and\u00a0volunteering. We send our thanks to the many volunteers who\u00a0help organize, set up and take down the sale, especially: the\u00a0Michigan Tech Facilities grounds crew who moved the books\u00a0from the library to the Memorial Union the morning of the\u00a0sale, the library front desk personnel for their help receiving\u00a0books throughout the year, and the following student groups:\u00a0the Society of Intellectual Sisters, the Student Chapter of\u00a0American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Undergraduate\u00a0Student Government, Graduate Student Government, and the\u00a0fraternities and sororities of Tau Beta Phi, Phi Delta Chi,\u00a0Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Phi Kappa Tau. The Friends accept\u00a0gently used books and materials for the annual sale throughout\u00a0the year. Check our website for a list of items that we accept\u00a0and ways to donate.<\/p>\n
