Unwanted Gift Swap
Posted by Angela Brcka
for University Libraries
Did winter break leave you with an item you won't use? Instead of letting it collect dust, bring it in! Re-gift, reduce waste, and bring home a great new item.
Items can include socks, books, candles, pens, mugs, stuffed animals and more!
