The William Van O'Connor Library
Contributions
Do you see something missing from our shelves?
The William Van O'Connor Library welcomes contributions from the English Department and the larger community, whether they come in the form of suggestions, books, or monetary donations. Keep in mind that the library's budget is a limited one, so not all recommendations can be accommodated. However, we are trying to expand our collections, particularly those that need more up-to-date resources. If you see a gap in our shelves, please consider filling that gap yourself or appealing to someone who can. Book and monetary donations both qualify for tax write-offs, and you'll also earn the unending gratitude of the librarians and the teachers and students who use the library as a resource constantly. If you are moving or cleaning out your personal library, think about donating your books to the library: if by chance they do not work with the library's current collections, we'll see they go to a public community library or a deserving student.
For more information, please contact the graduate student librarian or drop a note in the library mailbox in the English Department mailroom.
When donating materials to the library, whether dropping them off at the librarian's desk or putting them in the library mailbox, please be sure to label them clearly as donations and please include your name. We will want to thank you for your generosity and provide you with documentation for a tax write-off; we also want to be sure that the materials are truly donations and not misplaced items!
