Calling all Paperbacks

The Stanny Library System wants to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hopes this is a successful semester for students, instructors, and staff.  We have a lot planned for the library on the Moorhead Campus and hope you will join us.
First, we are setting up a Paperback Exchange on the Moorhead Campus and need your help in getting started. The new year always brings resolutions, and one of yours may be to do some cleaning and throwing away.  We are asking that you not throw away your paperback  books, but instead, bring them to the library.

We will get them in order and begin the exchange in February. The only requirement for giving paperbacks to the library is that they are in good condition with no pages or covers falling out or off.  You can repair or mend them before you drop them by the library. 

In this age of electronic everything, the electronic reader, the Kindle and Nook for instance, appears to be the novelty that is replacing books.  Yet, some still like to hold a book while reading.  So, if you are one of those readers and one looking for a bargain and a quick read, our paperbacks will be just the thing to satisfy your reading urge.

We will post more information beginning in February,  Now, bring us your paperbacks!
