The Humanities Institute at Trine University is once again hosting its annual Book Night. The event will be held Wednesday, Oct. 11, from 4-7 p.m. in the T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.
The event will have free new and gently used books from all genres. Any books not taken by community members will be donated to local community organizations. Last year, nearly 1,600 books were taken by more than 300 community members.
This year's event will feature the Kra-Tib food truck, prizes given away every half hour, and trivia. Prizes have been donated by Caleo, Claudy Creations, Elemento, Golden Green, Jenny Lu's, Starbucks, the Trine University Bookstore and Wieland Chase.
