essential contributions of the IUB Libraries employees.

improve service to students and faculty; to support the teaching and
learning mission of Indiana University.

Auditorium, books from IU Press, a wicker love seat, and dog training lessons.
We anticipate many more in the coming weeks.

large items from your home, if you are unable to bring them in. As
always, we will give you a receipt and a credit slip for tax purposes in the
amount of the value of your donation, if you wish. It is not necessary for
certain items to be present on the day of the Auction; we will be glad to make
a certificate with a description of your donation on it, and the winning
bidder will contact you.
In conjunction with the Auction, the School of HPER Support Staff Council
will be hosting a Sloppy Joe lunch in the same room, beginning at 11:30am.
This is a VERY popular event, so come early and have lunch while your browse
