BOOKSGIVING 2024!

To celebrate the season, we are inviting our patrons to share their knowledge and enthusiasm for particular learning resources with other instructors and students.   

Is there a book about art, architecture, or design that you love and would recommend to others?  Help us give thanks for those titles by participating in our inaugural Booksgiving event, to be celebrated the week prior to and the week of Thanksgiving. 

We ask that you, our patrons, choose one favorite book from our extensive collection and email us the choice (Title and Author, if possible), along with a brief paragraph explaining why you chose the book in question.  Please send your choice to the following email address with the subject line “BOOKSGIVING 2024” – archlib@uh.edu .  

The choices will be pulled from our shelves and displayed anonymously in our Library, along with the descriptions provided. If the title in question has already been checked out, or is otherwise unavailable, then we will be unable to display it as part of Booksgiving 2024. 

We will collect the first 40 submissions we receive and notify you of your pick’s inclusion in our display.  Should any of these selections be checked out by our Library Patrons, the person who picked it will receive a Library Gift Bag! 

Please provide us with your choice by November 15th at the latest.  Any choices received after this date will not qualify.  Thanks, and we look forward to receiving your selections!
