Take a break and celebrate National Reading Month with University Life and Butler Library! The Reading Nook is designed to be a stress-free space to rediscover the joy of reading by unwinding with a good book, enjoying book-themed treats, and connecting with other book lovers.
Bring a book you've been meaning to read or borrow from a selection of popular and recommended titles curated by Butler Browsing (available on a first-come, first-served basis).
What to Expect:
-
Bookish Bingo: Complete a bingo card by meeting fellow readers who match the descriptions in each square. Those who finish will be entered into a raffle, where two winners will be selected to receive a $25 Book Culture gift card!
-
DIY Tassel Bookmarks: Create and personalize your own tassel bookmarks.
-
Book Swap: Bring a book, take a book! Find a new read while sharing one you’ve already enjoyed.
-
Giveaways: Butler Library Tote Bags & Stickers and University Life notebooks & bookmarks while supplies last!
-
Themed Desserts and Cozy Drinks: Indulge in sweet treats inspired by notorious book themes: Romance, Dark Academia, and Mystery & Thriller, paired with a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate.
Whether you stay for a few minutes to check out the event or stay for a few hours to read and relax, we’d love to see you there!
Walk-ins are welcome!
