SCNM Library receives generous donation
The Library at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine is very grateful to have received 132 books from the late Dr. Thomas Richards and the Richards family. Many of the books received are large volumes, newer and in fine condition. This major addition will greatly strengthen the Library’s holdings in physical medicine, neuroanatomy, and the basic sciences.
The Student Library Committee settled upon specially designated spine labels for these books which will appear on each volume. The label will picture the Leonardo Da Vinci “Vitruvian Man,” a traditional design that is commonly associated with anatomy and medical studies. Each book will also have an elegant dedicatory book plate inserted on the inside back cover naming Dr. Richards as the items donor.
In addition, in January of this year, the Library acquired 56 high quality Acupuncture and TCM books from Rain Star College in Scottsdale, Ariz. to which were added lately ten other fine TCM books donated by Diana Salb of Mesa. In February a significant donation of 36 books from Dr. Thomas J. Grade, on such topics as orthopedic adjustments, mind-body treatments, headache, and ear acupuncture were received.
