Big day for all people on that book grind because we’re hosting a book swap event! Bring your unwanted books to the Student Sustainability Center on February 18 and pick up a new one to take home 🌼 materials for a “Blind Date with a Book” will also be provided for extra fun 🫶🏼

Never heard of a blind date with a book before? It’s a curated reading experience where books are wrapped in paper material, hiding their title and cover. This encourages readers to select a story based on clues, such as genre, tropes, or a short description. Don’t judge a book by its cover! Tea bags, twine, stamps, and newspaper will be provided 📚🧶📰
