Today at noon begins University of Idaho’s Vandal Giving Day! Every donation is just as exciting as these Idaho Potatoes being delivered to President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara! #VandalsGive Above, Idaho Governor Cecil D. Andrus personally inspects the Idaho spuds to be shipped direct to the White House. Mrs. Bush requested the delivery of Idaho potatoes after a conversation with Governor Andrus at a dinner party. Below: Bill Hartz, Idaho field merchandiser, poses in front of the White House with said special delivery.

In honor of our building’s 60th anniversary, our goal for the Library this year is to have 60 donors to the Library. If we reach this goal, we will unlock $1000 in additional money for the Library from the Library Advisory Board. A gift of even a few dollars will count toward our goal of 60 donors, so please consider giving to support our Library programs:
