Library Book Tree 2010

Drop in to see the “favourite book” Christmas tree in the library.

For the past six years the library staff have invited faculty, staff, and students to identify their favourite books so that they may be used to decorate the tree. For just a $2.00 donation per title—with proceeds going to the Medicine Hat News Santa Claus Fund—a small facsimile of the book cover is hung on the tree with the person’s name on the back of the cover. Titles that are recommended, but not yet in our collection, will also be considered for acquisition.

It is fun to see the variety of titles that have been submitted—so come and join in or just come to see what others are reading.
