Friends Update

The Friends of the Oberlin College Library have had another successful year, continuing their fine record of membership contributions, programming, and support for the Library.

At the end of the fiscal year the Friends of the Oberlin College Library counted 519 current members. This total includes 3 honorary and 12 life members, 339 contributing members, and 165 members who contributed to other library gift or campaign funds or donated gifts-in-kind. Contributions made specifically to the Friends organization during the 1993-94 academic year totaled more than $23,000.

Programs sponsored by the Friends--including lectures by dramatist Romulus Linney, authors Nien Cheng and Nat Brandt, and deacidification specialist Andrew Barron were enthusiastically received.

The organization also continued its strong support for the Library's collections by assigning $15,000 to purchase significant acquisitions and materials in several new curricular areas.
