A single book can lead to an unexpected connection.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if we have books we love, we\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0often get the chance to sit down and talk about them with others.
\nSo why not spend an evening a<\/span><\/span><\/span>t the Murakami Library talking about books?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Following its\u00a0<\/span>popularity\u00a0<\/span>this spring, the event returns this fall semester<\/span>!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It begins with a special guided tour of the library.<\/strong>
\nAs you walk through the space,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0learn how it was created and hear the stories behind its unique architecture.
\nIt\u2019s\u00a0a rare chance to experience the library in this way.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the tour,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0try a book-themed crossword puzzle.<\/strong>
\nSharing clues, searching for books, and solving the puzzle together will help conversations flow naturally.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nThen comes a moment to share \u201cyour special book.\u201d<\/strong>
\nIn this calm space surrounded by books, you may discover someone else\u2019s favorite read and\u00a0perhaps even\u00a0something new about your own tastes.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you love reading,\u00a0haven\u2019t\u00a0had much time to read lately, o<\/span>r have simply wanted to visit the Murakami Library, you\u2019re very welcome.
\nEven if\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0not familiar with Haruki Murakami,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0still enjoy the evening.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
