Please know that we are happy to take used books, as well—since we’ve started expanding the Design Collection in earnest, faculty members have been scouring used bookstores to fill in gaps in the collection.
To kick off the Book Drive, Wordshape has donated 300 new titles, a continued 5-year subscription to IDEA Magazine (there’s been a subscription going for 2 years now) and a 2-year subscription to Slanted Magazine.
Prizes will be announced the third week of December 2016! Be there or be rhombus!
