Silverman Library, 3rd floor, North Lounge
We're transforming the Silverman Library North Lounge (near the LEGO tables) into the ultimate drive-in movie experience. Students can bring their pillows, blankets or sleeping bags, hang out with friends, and enjoy a fun night at the movies right inside the library!
The big screen will feature Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, complete with popcorn and concessions.
But there's a catch! Students need to secure a Golden Ticket to attend.
