Overdue books bring relief for Atlanta Food Bank

Once again this holiday season Health Sciences library patrons with overdue items can pay their fines by donating canned goods. Begun in 1991 by then-circulation service head Bonita Bryan, the drive gives patrons the opportunity to pay off $1 of their fines with a single canned good. The library's average holiday tally is about three or four barrels of canned goods for the Atlanta Food Bank.

This year's drive will run through the month of December. Canned goods must be brought to the information desk at the Health Sciences Center Library. All donations must be received and recorded into EUCLID by library personnel so that proper accounts are credited.

While this event does cut into library revenues, Assistant Vice President Carol Burns feels that it's a project worth the dollars lost. "We want people to participate with us in experiencing the holiday season," she said. "Besides, this is a very good way to kill two birds with one stone."

Women's Center seeking Unsung Heroines

The Emory Women's Center is currently seeking nominations for its second annual Unsung Heroine Awards. The awards honor an undergraduate student, a graduate student, a faculty member, a staff member and an administrator who have "demonstrated extraordinary dedication to issues that affect women at Emory or in the larger community but whose efforts heretofore have not received accolades or formal recognition."

Awards will be presented at a dinner on Feb. 16. Please send letters of nomination by Nov. 20, to Emory Women's Center Unsung Heroines, Box GG. Previous nominees (but not previous winners) are eligible to be nominated again. Nomination letters should include the name and daytime phone number of the nominee and the person nominating her, a brief description stating why the candidate should be an Unsung Heroine and her category. Self-nominations are encouraged.
