Help the Graduate Appalachian Research Community raise funds. The group will be selling gently used books and baked goods on the second floor of the Gatton Student Center on Thursday, April 2, from noon to 5 p.m.
In the meantime, it’s time to clean out your bookshelf. Please donate your gently used books so they can find a new home and support GARC activities. The only books GARC cannot sell are formal textbooks, but they can sell novels, ethnographies or other types of books assigned for class.
Books for donation may be dropped off at the Appalachian Center, 624 Maxwelton Court, or brought to GARC meetings in the Annex.
