===Get Your Voucher===
Even if you wake up at 2 pm on opening day and your lazy ass gets down there to find the shelves are empty except for our one million copies of Plato's ''The Republic,'' the library is not useless to you (if you're on financial aid). For every aid student there is a voucher in his or her name that can be redeemed at Water Street Books. There are two denominations of voucher; each semester you may use only one. Anything purchased with voucher money in any part becomes property of the 1914 Library -- so holster your highlighter.
'''$60 Voucher.''' Your $60 voucher may be used for $60 worth of books, for a single book or many. It must be used within a month, and any unused parts are completly lost.
'''Expensive Book Voucher.''' If and only if you are in a course requiring purchase of a book costing $100 or more, you may trade in your ''unusued'' $60 voucher for a $100 voucher to be used towards the purchase of that single book. Any book purchased with the Expensive Book Voucher becomes the property of the 1914 Library at the end of the semester.
The $100 voucher only became available in Spring 2004. Credit for its existence goes to the efforts of Ali Moiz '06 on behalf of [[College Council]], and the cooperation of Paul Boyer of Financial Aid and Felicia Pharr. The generosity of Financial Aid in this form serves the needs of financial aid students and the 1914 Library, which most needs expensive textbooks for its collection, as they are used most widely and longest in Williams courses.
