Phi Kappa Phi Book Drive

02/22/15

Phi Kappa Phi is a national collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines that follows the motto “let the love of learning rule humanity.”  In honor of this phrase, the Ithaca College chapter of Phi Kappa Phi will be holding a book drive on campus.  Book drives are a way to draw attention to the importance of literacy and gather crucial resources for community members who would otherwise have limited access to them. All books collected will be donated to IC Books Thru Bars, a student-run program that provides books to incarcerated persons in New York State prisons. 

Help make this book drive a success by donating a new or gently used book. It's an easy way to make a big difference!

• Collection bins can be found around campus from Monday, March 2nd to Friday, March 20th. 

Bin locations:

• Campus Center (in the Information Desk area)
• Park School of Communications (in the main lobby – 2nd floor)
• School of Business (2nd floor – outside classroom 202)
• Whalen School of Music (outside the instrument rental/repair window)
• Center for Health Sciences (by the coffee cart)
• Muller Chapel (near the main entrance)
• IC Library (just outside the entrance)
