UNL library hopes to save old books

Anonymous Patron writes The Lincoln Journal Star looks into The University of Nebraska-Lincoln archives. Library officials and the Friends of UNL Libraries fundraising group hope to collect enough money to restore a dozen-odd other decaying artifacts housed in the library’s special collections department. The drive, titled, “Saving Our Treasures,” is nearly $11,000 short of its $25,000 goal, said Ross McCown, the fundraising campaign’s chairman. The shortfall has caused Friends of the Libraries to take its financial plea beyond the usual donor possibilities and ask the general public for help.”
