The Library Party Pack turns 3 years old this December! Since its “birth”, it has been reserved and used at least 55 times. Sustainability in action! If you are planning a library or department event involving food, please consider reserving and using the Party Pack for your event. If you want to learn more about use of the Party Pack or the initiative that inspired the Party Pack, visit the Party Pack wiki page or touch base with Uta. Just a reminder that the Party Pack is only useful if its contents remain available. If you have a stray plate or utensil from the Party Pack (hard to miss that bright green!) please return it to Uta Hussong-Christian (3rd floor mailbox is fine).
