South Haven Couple Makes Book Donation to LMC

BENTON TOWNSHIP, MI - South Haven residents Claude and Nancy Phillips recently donated a collection of books and periodicals to the Lake Michigan College William Hessel Library. The nearly 600 titles cover a variety of topics within the areas of social science, political science, and psychology.
"We appreciate Mr. & Mrs. Phillips' generosity in making this donation," states Diane Baker, interim director of the William Hessel Library. "It is nice to know that there are individuals in the community that care so much about the educational futures of LMC students."

Claude Phillips, a retired college professor, and Nancy Phillips, a retired university librarian, are owners of The Hidden Room Book Shoppe in South Haven.

The William Hessel Library is located on LMC's Napier Avenue Campus in Benton Township. Students at the college's South Haven Campus and Bertrand Crossing Campus in Niles can utilize library services in person or through a system where they can request materials that will be sent directly to their campus.

They can also utilize nearly 60 databases to indexed and/or full -text magazines, search over 19,000 electronic books in the netLibrary database, and access the library's new online catalog, Impact, which allows them to renew their checked out materials online.
