The library isn't Sharper Image or Amazon.com, but we do have some useful and attractive items for sale. Check out these holiday gift possibilities:

• The Library Bookstore offers great prices on a wide range of scholarly and general interest books that are not needed for our collections.
  
  
• For someone who isn't currently affiliated with the University, membership in the California Alumni Association provides a number of benefits, including the ability to get a Library Borrower's Card at no extra charge.
  
  
• Anyone who uses our photocopiers, or prints from the public computers, will appreciate a Copy Card. It's like a BART ticket -- add as much value as you want!
  
  
• For the bibliophile on your list, the Bancroft Library offers a variety of publications and other items including cards, posters, and T-shirts.
  
  
• The Water Resources Center Archives' 2008 calendar, "Making the Delta," features historical images of the Sacramento-San Joaquin levee system.
  
  
• People with an altruistic turn of mind will enjoy knowing that you've made a gift to the library in their honor.
  
  
• We've even got stocking stuffers! The Copy Center in Moffitt Library offers pencils, notepads, computer disks, and other useful items.
  

Finally, if you need a break after all this shopping, we recommend a visit to the Free Speech Movement Café.
