Hmmm…could it be…………….the ALA Love Buffet?!

Join us on Tuesday, February 8th from 5-8pm in the SLAIS Lounge for amazing treats, a bawdy reading, and more.

*Have you been working so hard you have forgotten to nourish yourself?

If so, come bring your neglected romance books (or other literary smut) and gather ’round to laugh your cares away as we share our passages

Just $5 will get you XTRA SPECIAL <3 treats + a glorious, blush-worthy array of Valentine’s card craft-making supplies!!!

Treats Featuring:

We hope you can partake in the most romantic evening at SLAIS, probably ever!!!

The SLAIS student chapter of the American Library Association (ALA) will be holding its first meeting of 2011 next Wednesday, January 19th @ 12pm in the Trail Room.

We’re the new student group on the block! As such we offer many opportunities to participate in shaping the events we will be planning for the year ahead. Come add your ideas to the mix or stay tuned for our literary and gustatory homage to February 14, ALA’s Teen Tech Week, and informational panels exploring topics such as a comparison of U.S. and Canadian freedom of information laws.

We hope you’ll put ALA on your “student group shopping-list” 🙂
