Good library research has always paid off for students.  Now, however, it also can literally pay, in the form of the Friends of the Library's $250 Prize for Library Research. 

But, you say, I don't have time to start a library research project, even if I could win $250.  I have this huge project coming up at the end of the semester, and I've got to do a really great job on it. 

Well, if you are a student in the College of Arts and Sciences, then you are the perfect candidate to win the $250 prize (and get a great grade on your project).  If you simply go to http://library.bethel.edu/about/friends/library-prize and look at the guidelines, you can get information on how to enter your project for the prize.  Why not get recognized for your hard work?
