WOO-HOO! Mark your calendar, Folks! On Saturday, October 9th, noon-5:00pm, the Art Institute of Chicago (www.artic.edu) will be holding their “Art Book Swap” event in the Ryerson and Burnham Library.

The event is free and open to the public. You can bring your art books and swap one-for-one with hundreds of donated art books. Anything left over after the event will be donated to the Champaign-Urbana “Books to Prisoners” program for placement in Illinois prison libraries.
