Students find their next read at Book Nook

University of Tennessee’s Center for Student Engagement hosted a “Book Nook” and book swap in the Student Union on Sept. 24. The event included book-related crafts, such as making your own bookmarks, along with light refreshments, a Kindle giveaway, soft jazz music and the opportunity to connect with fellow readers. Students could either bring in a book to trade or choose from a selection of free books. The traded books covered genres from science fiction to romance and even included cookbooks. Katja Fischer, a freshman economics major, remarked on the availability of genres. “The space is very thoughtful. I like the creative craft space, and it’s fun to get a genre of book that I wouldn’t usually read,” Fischer said. Fischer’s sister, Eva, who is a sophomore finance major, especially loved the bookmark craft, noting the variety of materials available.
