Members of the Yale, Andover and Southern Connecticut State University communities are invited to participate in two events on Saturday, Sept. 15, to support New Haven Reads.

From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., “Book or a Buck for a Bagel at the Blue Dog Cafe” will be held at Blue Dog Cafe, McDougal Center common room, Hall of Graduate Studies, 320 York St. Individuals should bring a new or gently used children’s or fiction book, or donate money or new school supplies to benefit the New Haven Reads Book Bank.

“Backpack Bonanza!” will be held 1-3 p.m. on the Old Campus; an alternate location in the event of rain will be announced later. Attendees should bring new schools supplies, backpacks, gently used children’s book, and/or a donation. For more information, send e-mail to tyler.hill@yale.edu or marslandk2@southernct.edu.


Video contest

The Cushing/Whitney Medical Library is sponsoring an online video contest.

Any University affiliate, excluding librarians, may participate by making a video no shorter than 30 seconds and no longer than two minutes professing how essential and vital the library’s “Yale Links” tool is to the Yale community.

Contestants must load the video to the Yale Links group on YouTube before midnight on Nov. 26. By Dec. 3, a group of library judges will determine the top five finalists based on creativity, unique portrayal of the importance of using “Yale Links” in learning and research, and overall likeability. The top five videos will be featured on the Medical Library’s web site for a campus-wide vote that will be held Dec. 4-13. The entry with the most votes will win a video iPod.

For complete information about the contest, visit the website at www.med.yale.edu/library/yalelinks/about.html.
