Library Renovation:
We admit it we have had a face lift and we're proud to say that we did. In Fall 2003, the Friends of the Mott Library were able to fund a $30,000 library entrance renovation to replace a failing detection system and allow for easier wheelchair access. Following that the library interior was renovated with new lighting and carpet. To the delight of patrons and staff, the aesthetic enhancements have transformed the library to a brighter, more cheerful look.
Art Auction:
A Treasure Chest of Art...A Very Special Art Auction
A very special art auction was held in the Mott Library, 2nd floor - Thurs., Oct. 11, 2007 and Friday, Oct. 12, 2007. There were 138 art lovers in attendance. Over 100 pieces were brought to the stage for auction and 94 were sold. Friends of the Mott Library Board Members and volunteers got in the spirit by dressing like pirates. Eric Steiner, owner of State of the Art Auction Company, traveled from Tennessee to act as auctioneer. Many buyers took advantage of the 15 year trade-in policy and found wonderful new pieces for their homes and offices. Look for publicity about the next auction event which will be held in the newly remodeled events center.

Peggy Brown Can-Do Collection:
Friends have funded this reference collection in honor of
the "Can Do" attitude of Peggy Brown, former
MCC secretary. Originally this collection was intended
as a reference for secretaries but has grown to include
a broader scope of materials that would be of interest
to a cross section of MCC employees, male and female,
from secretary to management, and to serve students as
well.
Retiree Book Selection:
The Friends honor MCC retirees with a book selection of their choice,
often times these choices are a mix of academic or recreational
reading.
