Fall 2012

Dear Friends of the Wesleyan Library,

 The autumn brings many exciting Friends of the Wesleyan Library events and collaborations, drawing together students, faculty, staff, and the community for intellectual conversation, enjoyment of books, and showcasing of the library’s many resources. We hope you will be able to attend.  See the enclosed flyer or the Friends web site for more details. 

  • Constitution Day Lecture: Chief Magistrate Judge Steven Gold ‘77 P’09 – “Imposing Sentence:  The Balance Between Affording Discretion and Avoiding Disparity" --  Wednesday, September 19, 4:30 - 6:00 p.m. -- Science Library Study Lounge.
  • The Friends Annual Book Sale will be held on Saturday, October 20 as part of Wesleyan’s Homecoming festivities, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. in the lobby of Olin Memorial Library.  There will be a large selection of academic and popular books.  If you would like to support the Friends through book donations or by volunteering to help, please contact us.

These activities, projects to preserve and make accessible valuable library collections, and the library newsletter which will be mailed to you in October, are supported through generous donations from the Friends.  Thank you to those who have already renewed your membership for 2012-2013.  If you have not done so already, we ask you to renew this month.  Basic membership in the Friends starts at $25, and donors at the $50 and above level may choose to receive a set of Friends notecards or a tote bag as a thank you gift (please indicate your choice on the donation envelope).  Membership donations may also be made online at www.wesleyan.edu/library/friends.  We greatly appreciate those who are able to donate at higher levels and also welcome sponsors of special projects and planned gifts.  Your contributions enrich the community through all these activities.  For more information about donating to the library or underwriting events, please contact Jennifer Hadley at libfriends@wesleyan.edu or 860-685-3897.  We look forward to seeing you this fall.
