Story Seven: Book Donations to the Library

Recap: In 2022, twenty-four Minnesota libraries joined together in a commitment to retain over a half-million print books which are scarcely-held in Minnesota. It is called the Minnesota Shared Print Collection. Here is one of the stories from the Winona State share of the collection.

Winona State accepts donations of books by members of the general public (though we reserve the right to decide whether to add them or not). Some of those donations have shown up on our retention list. Here are two donations, the first from the estate of the former U.S. Marine Daniel Besser, and another from the estate of Minnesota film promoter Al Milgrom.
