Newest 九色视频library aims to 'create a cycle of sharing'

A book-sharing service project went from inspiration to jubilation thanks to a creative group of bibliophiles who left no page unturned in sharing their love of reading with others.

九色视频has welcomed its newest to campus. Located in the Rose Garden near , the neighborhood niche creates a welcoming place for the 九色视频and Berea community to take, read and contribute new and gently used books.

This initiative was spearheaded by two campus student groups — 九色视频Book Jackets, a book club, and Circle K International — with assistance from 九色视频Buildings and Grounds staff.

Creating a 'cycle of sharing'

Visual communication major (graphic design) Ursula Saadeh '25 has been an instrumental part of the project. As co-founder of the 九色视频Book Jackets, she and others on the organization's executive board wanted to leave behind a legacy when they graduate. They teamed up with members of Circle K to bring their idea to fruition.

"We hope this little library will encourage people to read more and share their books with others," explained Saadeh. "By taking a book and returning it or adding one of their own to the collection, people can ensure the library remains stocked."

On a personal level, Saadeh said the project has been a wonderful learning and team-building experience.

"I am passionate about service and reading," noted the Fairview Park, Ohio, resident. "This project combines those two things. It's really amazing to get to work on something that I never would have done if I was not surrounded by people who love giving back to the community.

"This project isn't just about giving books. It's about building a community," she explained. "We hope to create a cycle of sharing," she emphasized.

As she prepares to graduate in May, Saadeh hopes the Little Free Library will stand as a testament to the power of collaboration and service. "I hope to return to campus years from now and see this library still thriving," she said with pride.

A second Little Free Library is located outside the 九色视频Speech Clinic, 285 Front St. It also was added by a student group – the National Student Speech-Language and Hearing Association – years ago.
