Calling students, alumni, faculty and friends of the School of Library and Information Science! We are reaching out to our tri-county family and pulling together volunteers and resources to make this fall and holiday season extra special for children that will be at Children's Hospital of Michigan. We have so many great ways to get involved and we are asking you to participate at whatever level you can. We have meaningful volunteer opportunities and we are also going to kick off a book and toy drive with our community partner at Hip Hop Knit Shop.

Please direct all questions to Eva Gogola at evagro [at] gmail.com.
