Donations Report FY 2006-07

The Fall 2006 and Spring 2007 acquisition cycle was a notable year due to the Gifts & Donations that we received to support the collections of the Krieble Library.

The Krieble Library accepts books and other materials as donations from individuals and organizations. When these materials match areas of research and instruction within the College, they are considered for cataloging into our collection. After donations are accepted, they are reviewed and the librarian makes the final decision on which materials are added to the collections. Those donations that are not added are still put to support the library by becoming part of our library surplus which is offered for sale at the annual Midsummer Festival Booksale. The revenue of the sales are then converted to funds to support the library's development.

During the Fall and Spring there were numerous donors that supported our library with donations of books and other resources. Alumni, faculty members and members of the general public donated many useful titles.

I am pleased to report Donations added include: 428 titles (catalogues or books) and 4 visual resources (DVDs). Also, several other donations remain in backlog and are still under consideration but have not formally been added to our collection.

We accepted several large book & material donations from:

The estate of Elisabeth Gordon Chandler, founder of Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts

Mr. Richard Y. Ballard, long time supporter of the college library.

John Morgan, scholarship contributor and family of alumn artist Corey Getchell.

Michael Sturges, supporting the library in the name of his late wife, Betsey Sturges, artist.

We appreciate each of our donors and thank all the donors that supported us in this past fiscal year.
