Morthland college receives minor water damage…eclipses goal for their library.

by Steve Dunford

From this past weekends heavy rains, Morthland College received some damage to their campus this weekend.  I spoke to Leigh Caldwell, who wears many hats for Morthland, and she said,  “We have some water damage at Coleman Rhoads Hall, in the area that houses a handful of student services employees. They are being temporarily relocated. None of our classes are affected.”

This resulted in the postponement of the book sale at the school.

Here is some good news. The campus set a lofty goal for enhancing their library.  The following statement was on their Facebook page:

If you hear Alpharetta chime 50 times on the morning of 5.1, don’t be alarmed; we’re just #forgingon.  The Hall Snyder Library is officially at 50,082 books. Our campus goal of 50k by May has been reached!

We’ve got a bit of a problem, though. Our library stacks are quite literally in stacks on the floor! Help us finish raising the funds by the end of month fuve to build 15 more shelves.

Morthland College is a Chirstian based, non-denominational, liberal arts Chirstian college in West Frankfort.  They offer a wide range of programs including athletics.   Through their guilds, they have provided many jobs to the people of Franklin and surrounding counties.
