I am proud to brag about my favorite college basketball team, the NUMBER 1 FIGHTING ILLINI, who just happen to be playing in this week's Final Four in St. Louis. What does this have to do with libraries? Well, our DIA (athletic department) is selling ORANGE wristbands with the proceeds to go to the University of Illinois Library Campaign. Here is the info: Illinois “LOYALTY” Wristbands Show your Illinois loyalty with the official University of Illinois “LOYALTY” wristband. In the footsteps of the popular yellow “LIVE STRONG” wristbands championed by Lance Armstrong, proceeds from sales of the bright orange Illinois wristbands will be donated to the U of I Library Campaign. “The Library’s partnership with DIA is the first to combine academics and athletics, which will broaden the visibility of the Library Campaign and serve as yet another source of Illini pride,” says Paula Kaufman, U of I head librarian. Illinois “LOYALTY” wristbands cost $2 each. They can be purchased in person at the Main Library, Room 227, as well as Gameday Spirit Sports, Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sub Shops, WDWS, the News-Gazette, and the U of I Athletic Ticket Office. They also are available at Illinois home athletic events or by phone (minimum 100) at 866-Illini-1. Go Illini We often complain about how sports sometimes seem to overshadow academics in our schools. Here is one way it can help out. I'm proud to be an Illini alum (I liked it so well I graduated twice!! once in elementary education, and once in library science), and I'm proud that I have two sons currently attending college there.
