Oberlin College Library Perspectives

Number 11, February, 1995

Friends Meeting Highlights

At their November 5 meeting the Friends of the Library Council and the general membership discussed future directions for the organization, including the development of the new student Friends group and the possibility of having regional Friends events in major cities where large numbers of alumni and Friends members live.

The Council agreed to have one or two regional events on an experimental basis to see how well they will serve members who are not in a position to come to Oberlin for programs, and to determine whether or not they are successful in helping to expand the membership base. The Council also considered ways to encourage the expansion of the student Friends group by supporting programs that are of immediate interest to students. The meeting also included reports on membership, programming, acquisitions, and honorary and life members.

Minutes of the Council and membership meeting are available from: Friends of the Oberlin College Library, Mudd Center, Oberlin, OH 44074.

Friends Membership Update

As of mid-January the Friends of the Oberlin College Library counted 612 current year members. This total includes 4 honorary and 15 life members, 336 regular members, 157 student members, and 100 who have contributed to other library funds or donated gifts-in-kind.
