Yale-NUS Library Book Adoption

Our books need a new home!

Join us in bidding the Yale-NUS Library a fond farewell, and maybe adopt a book or three along the way. The event will first be open to Yale-NUS faculty and staff, alumni, and their families and invited guests. The wider NUS community, as well as members of the public are also invited to join us on subsequent dates.


Update: Due to overwhelming response from the Yale-NUS community, our book adoption drive will end earlier than expected.


We'd like to thank everyone for the enthusiasm and support. If you'd missed out, stay tuned for the next book adoption and exchange event on 14 June at Central Library.
