Christmas Book/Gift Exchange

Posted on by — Leave a reply

The board has decided that with the new variant of COVID starting around we will again forgo an in person Christmas event.  Because of this we thought we would go ahead and give everyone an opportunity to do the Holiday Book Exchange through the mail that we did last year. 

If you are interested in participating, please send your name and either your personal or work address to Jessica at jessica.pierpoint@wichita.edu.  She will get everyone matched and send out the information.  Pick any book used or new to exchange. It can be your favorite book, a book you think that person may enjoy more than you, or just a fun or unique book.

Please have your information to her by next Wednesday, December 15, if you would like to participate. 

Thank you and have a great holiday season,

April D Hernandez, Director
