Fall 2011 Membership Letter

Dear Friends and Members of the Community,

As the start of the academic year draws near, the Friends of the Wesleyan Library are gearing up for an exciting series of programs celebrating the library as an intellectual hub of the university. We hope you will join us at the following events and also join or renew your Friends membership to support the work of the library.

  • On Friday, September 16 the Friends will host a lecure in honor of Constitution Day. More details to be announced.
  • On Wednesday, September 28, the Friends will host a screening of "Breakfast at Tiffany's," starring Audrey Hepburn, starting at 8:00 p.m. in the Goldsmith Family Cinema.  The film will be preceded by a short talk by Sam Wasson.  This event is part of the Adaptation Series, a collaboration with the Center for Film Studies that explores the translation of text to screen.
    •
  • The Friends book sale will be held on Saturday, October 15 from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. in the lobby of Olin Memorial Library.  There will be a wonderful selection of academic and popular books, most priced from $1-$5, with special titles from $10-$50, and a not-to-be-missed silent auction of collectible titles and older, scarce, and unusual items.  For more information and to find out how to donate your books to the sale, see the accompanying flyer. 
  • Later this year, the Friends will also be sponsoring workshops and talks in Preservation and Special Collections and Archives. 

Basic membership in the Friends starts at $25, and donors at the $50 and above level will receive a set of Friends notecards as a thank you.  We greatly appreciate those who are able to donate at higher levels.  Your contributions enrich our community with talks, exhibits, the library newsletter Check It Out, projects to preserve and make accessible valuable collections, and other library activities.  The Friends also welcome sponsors of special projects and planned gifts.  For more information about donating to the library or underwriting any of the events, please contact Jennifer Hadley in the Friends office at jthom@wesleyan.edu or 860-685-3897.

 We look forward to seeing you this fall.
