Great Moments in Illini History: Bookmarks Support Library Campaign

As part of its $500,000 pledge to the Library Campaign, the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA) has issued a series of “Great Moments in Illini History” bookmarks. The five bookmarks feature great moments in the Fighting Illini basketball history of both men and women’s teams.

Some of the outstanding Illinois athletes featured on the bookmarks include Dee Brown, Deron Williams, Angelina Williams, and Ashley Berggren as well as members of the 1989 Flyin’ Illini. Library facts are included on both sides of each bookmark

Each full-color bookmark is priced at $3. The bookmarks will be sold this spring at all men and women’s home basketball games and the following Urbana-Champaign locations: Gameday Spirit, The Illini Shop, TIS Bookstore, and Bielfeldt Athletic Administration Building. They also may be purchased online at the FightingIllini Official Store or in person at the Library Development Office in 227 Main Library, 1408 West Gregory Drive, Urbana.

All proceeds for the sale of the bookmarks will benefit the Library Campaign, which supports collections, facilities, and faculty positions. This project marks the third year of DIA’s five-year commitment to the campaign, a partnership that results in athletics supporting the academic mission of the campus.
