The sale raised approximately $1,800, which will be used to fund achievement awards for student workers at the library.

Harold Lee "H. L." Wilson from the Bibliopath Bookshop and Bindery on Bute Street in Norfolk proved to be one of the best customers at the University Library's used-book sale held November 3 and 4. Sponsored by the Library Staff Association, the sale benefits student workers at the library. This year's proceeds will go toward the purchase of University Bookstore gift certificates for 30 to 35 students.

According to Carole Ray an office services specialist at the library who helped organize the sale, close to 1,000 volumes were sold. She added that the proceeds should be able to fund up to 30 gift certificates.
