Please join us this Thursday, November 15 for “Books Sandwiched In”
Now in its 16th season!
Good books make great gifts. McDaniel College Associate Librarian Jane Sharpe will take the guesswork out of finding the best books to give this holiday season. Her forum, “Books Sandwiched In”, will be held noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday November 15 in McDaniel Lounge.
The event is free and open to the public. Participants are invited to bring a bag lunch. Beverages and snacks will be provided.
The one-hour session will cover as many as 20 books, including fiction and non-fiction for children and adults, a cookbook, biography, picture book and a coffee table book.
“I try to have something for everybody,” Sharpe said. I approach it as though I’m taking the list of people I would buy for, and select books that I would pick for them.”
“Books Sandwiched In” is jointly sponsored by the Hoover Library, McDaniel’s Communications and Marketing Office, and Locust Books of Westminster.
