Buy a Book and Honor a Teacher, Staff Member or Student

The Bigelow Library is a vibrant and exciting learning commons. Students visit daily to find a good book to read. The Buy a Book Fund Drive is a wonderful way to meet this demand so that the library can maintain its vibrancy.

If you are planning on honoring a graduate or recognizing a staff member at the end of this year, please consider donating a book to the library. A nameplate honoring the student/teacher, and recognizing the donor, will be placed inside a new book. Your generosity is deeply appreciated.
