Do you have boxes of books in your basement?

Is there a particular book that you love and want to share?

Donate your books to our Little Free Library located in front of North Country Brewing Company. We accept ongoing donations.

Large donations can be dropped off at the Slippery Rock Community Library. Just look for the labeled box inside.

October is National Arts and Humanities Month (NAHM) – a coast-to-coast collective recognition of the importance of culture in America. NAHM was launched by Americans for the Arts 30 years ago as National Arts Week in honor of the twentieth anniversary of the National Endowment for the Arts. In 1993, it was reestablished by Americans for the Arts and national arts partners as a month-long celebration, with goals of:
 
FOCUSING on the arts at local, state, and national levels;
 
ENCOURAGING individuals and organizations to participate in the arts;
 
ALLOWING governments and businesses to show their support of the arts; and
 
RAISING public awareness about the role the arts and humanities play in our communities and lives.

We have a TON of exciting events planned this October to celebrate National Arts & Humanities month. Check out what's happening on campus and in our community!

Coming next month!
