Paperback Wednesday--Donation Day

Trade a paperback book for the chance to "dress down.” Students, faculty & staff that donate a book to the Sullivan-Lexington library on February 5th will earn the privilege of bypassing the customary Wednesday professional-dress requirement. 

Donated books benefit the library's free paperback swap, which offers light reading materials to the university community.

Stop by the library Wednesday morning to trade your book for a pass.
