A reception recognizing the completion of the “Seeds of Wisdom” Library Resource Project was held in the Giumarra Courtyard on Thursday, March 25.

Every year the Biola Parent Council selects a fundraising effort to help fund a project that will enhance the Biola student experience. This year the council asked Biola parents to participate by helping provide additional resources for the Biola Library.

Alan Pearson, representing the Biola Parent Council, presented to Dr. Rodney Vliet a check for $24,519.83 that will be used to further enhance the library offerings available to our students. Student workers who call for the Biola Phonathon made a significant contribution by calling current parents and asking for pledges. Those pledges continue to come in, increasing the total amount raised past $26,000.

Donors and their Biola students were invited to the reception, where they had the opportunity to sign a bookplate that will be placed inside one of the new library resources. Special recognition was given to author, speaker, and Biola parent, Christina DiMari-Davis, who contributed $10,000 in materials from Tyndale and Group Publishers.
