After budget cuts, Missouri Libraries seeks book donations - Associated Press

The University of Missouri Libraries, responding to the loss of millions of dollars in its budget, is asking book lovers for some help. Two weeks ago, library officials posted a website with a wish list of more than 400 books they hoped to buy for the libraries but are not able to because of budget cuts. The website gives willing donors a way to buy specific books for teaching and research, The Columbia Missourian reported (http://bit.ly/2smWNjG ). The most expensive is "Complete and Truly Outstanding Works by Homer," which costs $5,250. The least expensive book on the list is "Another Time, Another Place," by Jessie Kesson, which costs $16.75. http://www.kmov.com/story/35744596/after-budget-cuts-missouri-libraries-seeks-book-donations
