Oklahoma Librarian September / October 2005


Proceeds from sale to benefit library affected by hurricane:
"The Stillwater Public Library recently had a display of items crafted from old books out of service. Stacy Delano, Resource Librarian, created this fabulous “room” out of books. A couch, coffee table, lamp, pillow, and bookcase were a few of the items featured in the room. Employees of the library participated by creating accent items for the room. A birdhouse, candle holders, shelves, storage boxes, and journal were just a few of the items accenting the room.

Many items were sold by silent auction, which netted $232. The library originally planned to use the proceeds to purchase new books, but with the recent hurricanes, it was decided instead to donate the money to a library in need."
