LISSO Fall Picnic (and Book Drive!)

Hey everyone,

First of all, we would like to thank everyone who came out to last week's Trivia Night at Winchell's and helped us claim victory!! Yes, the LISSO team, "Those Darn Librarians," won first prize!! Good times were had by all.

Our next event is a Fall Picnic and Book Drive. It will be held this coming Saturday, September 18 at Woodland Park beginning around noon..








Got extra books stacking up? Need a break from school? Do you like food and games? Wanna help a good cause?

Come to Woodland Park on Saturday, September 18th around 12:00 and join LISSO in their Fall Picnic and first ever Book Drive for the International Book Project, a non-profit organization founded and located in Lexington, KY!

· All SLIS students, staff, and faculty - including friends, family, and significant others are welco...me to attend!

· LISSO will be providing some food, like hamburgers, hotdogs, and vegetarian options, but feel free to bring your favorite side dish, dessert, drinks, or game!

·Pay your $5 LISSO dues by the 18th and be entered into a drawing for a gift card from the UK Bookstore; we will draw a name at the picnic!

·Woodland Park is located at 601 E. High Street, Lexington, KY 40502, a short walk from campus.


Please bring books to donate for the International Book Project! Don’t have any books? Help out by donating funds that are imperative in helping with the shipping costs; even just $1 per book helps out! The most needed books are classic and contemporary literature, fact books (history, business, biographies, etc.), children’s literature and picture/story books, dictionaries, primary, secondary, and higher textbooks copyrighted after the year 2000, and books in Spanish and French. Please make sure books are in good condition (no broken bindings, excessive writing, missing or torn pages or covers).


Hope to see you next Saturday! Bring your appetite!
