Founded
in the 1988-1989 school year during the renovation
and expansion of Stewart Memorial Library, the
Coe College Library Association began with 433
founding members. It is a voluntary association
of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students
and friends of Coe, all of whom agree to purchase
at least one book a year for the library collections.
The renovation of the library created room
for growth and the members of the CCLA dedicated
themselves to the goal of expanding the library's
holdings so as to make it one of the finest
liberal arts undergraduate libraries in the
country. Since its inception the Association
has contributed in excess of $400,000 to purchase
library materials. Gift from Association
members for endowment to support the library
in perpetuity total more than $2,000,000.
The
Bibliophile, a newsletter for members
of the Coe College Library Association,
is published twice a year. Its
goal is to inform the College community
about new acquisitions of books and/or
art in the Stewart Memorial Library
and relate other developments which
strengthen the quality of library service.
PIP or "Periodicals
in Perpetuity" is an effort to raise
permanent endowment funds to support the
serials and periodical collection of the
library.
We have named this project "PIP", in a tip of
the hat to Charles Dickens, who initially published
many of his novels in serial form. We hope
that Coeís alumni and friends will agree
that it is both appropriate and essential for
the college to have "Great Expectations" for
its library collections.
