Winter Bookswap & Hot Cocoa Party

Thursday, December 6
5:00-8:00 pm
Faculty/Staff Dining Room (lower level MCB, between the Fens cafeteria and the Bookstore)

LISSA & SoCS are throwing some end-of-the-year festivities: Bring us those well-read or unread books taking up space on your shelf… Share good cheer and good reads with others by re-gifting the books you love, and spruce up your own collection by taking new books home! We will have a full-spread hot cocoa bar (non-dairy too!), music, and board games! Unclaimed books will be donated to More Than Words, a local program that provides jobs and skills to young people who are in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school.
