The Great Book Exchange
- If you’re looking for something new to read—or just want to clear those finished books off your nightstand—bring them to Schaffer! We’ll be collecting books all week. On Friday, we’ll organize them (we’re librarians, we can’t help ourselves!) so you can easily browse the selections during the afternoon exchange.
We look forward to seeing you in the library. Please come help us celebrate this week devoted to recognizing the importance of and joy you can find in the library.
