Purpose
of the program
The RBC Library
Graduate Books program is designed to honor graduating students.
Family members and friends of graduates can donate a minimum of $30.00 to the
RBC library. The library will then purchase a book in honor of that graduate.
A gift plate indicating the graduate, the year of graduation, and the donor
is placed in each book. (The books are chosen by the library staff and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs or preferences of individual graduates.) Sometimes
a theme is chosen. For example, in 2002 books were chosen for the Virginia Room;
in 2000 the theme was critical reviews of authors' works.
Graduates may search
under their name in the online
catalog to find out what has been donated in their name. The catalog record
specifies in whose honor a book has been donated.
To both honor a
graduate and support the library for years to come by participating in the Graduate
Books program, please stop by, call or email
the library for more information. The library's telephone number is 804-862-6226/6227/6228.
The library staff extend sincere thanks to Dr. LeAnn Binger and Jacqueline Harrison who promote the event by mailing letters to graduating students and process all donations to the Graduate Books program! In the past, it was Pat Tukiendorf in the President's Office who processed all donations to the program.
