Carleton librarian Margaret Haines couldn’t wipe the smile off her face Nov. 30, as representatives of the Institute of Ismaili Studies in London, England presented the Carleton library with more than 60 books covering a variety of topics concerning Islam.

“This is just a wonderful collection to add, so we’re delighted to accept it,” Haines said.

The donation, worth approximately $3,000, was geared to help enhance Carleton’s minor in Muslim studies, and to help establish Carleton’s Centre for the Study of Islam.
