Thanksgiving Read-In

Every month we try to hold a read-in with a theme that corresponds to that time of year. Our read-in tomorrow will be focused on the concept of giving thanks to those things around us that we feel are the most important things in our lives. You can bring a poem, a play, a novel, an essay, or whatever story you might have in your memories. The main idea here is to share it with others and discover what is important to them. This is the season to remember those things we hold dear.

We'll be in the coffee shop in the library from 11:30-12:30 tomorrow November 23rd.

Halloween Read-In

Have you ever been to one of the library's read-ins? Well, if you haven't, then you might want to consider coming to the Halloween Read-In tomorrow at 10:00-11:30. Every read-in has a theme and this year we are asking people to bring scary, spooky, or haunting stories that they have enjoyed over the years. It's always best to bring a book, an article, or a poem, but if you have a personal story to tell, that is a great way to share as well.

So if you enjoy spooky stories come on by and see what we're discussing. We'll be in the @ the Library coffee shop from 10-11:30 on Friday October 29th.

Women's History Read-In

Join us this Thursday, March 12th at 11:30 in Holy Grounds Coffee Shop for our March Read-In.  We will be celebrating Women's History Month.  In the past, people have brought essays, poems, short excerpts from novels & plays, as well as letters from famous women authors.  If you choose to share your text with us, that would be great!  If you just want to come and listen, that's fine too.

If you don't know what to bring, contact us and we'll help you find something here in the library.

See you on Thursday!

Winter Read-In Tomorrow

Do you like to share what you read?  Each semester the library hosts a small gathering of students, staff, or faculty at the Holy Grounds Coffee Shop to discuss what we like to read.  We call them "read-ins" and we share poems, essays, paragraphs from favorite stories, etc.  Basically, if you enjoy it, come share it with us.

This month's theme is winter.  Do you embrace winter?  Do you love running around in the snow?  Or are you yearning for spring and summer?  Either way, bring a text that shows how much you love or loathe winter.  You could bring a poem about how beautiful spring is, or perhaps a character's recollection of the beauty of a snowfall.  It's your choice.

Come on over tomorrow, January 27th, at 11:30 and share your text.  Grab a coffee while you're at it.  We'll be there until 1:00.  Also, it's a Humanities Passport event, so you can get extra credit.
