Join Ruby members Virgie Tovar & Shanna Farrell for a special literary edition of White Elephant. It's a gift- swapping game where everyone brings an anonymous wrapped book and leaves with something new for their library! Bring a gift-wrapped new/like-new book ($30 or less) and a snack to share!

If you've never attended a White Elephant before, here's a rundown: of how it works https://www.whiteelephantrules.com/

Here's what to do ahead of the event:

1. Find a new or like-new book you love that is $30 or less.

2. Grab a sheet of paper and write/type a little blurb about why you love this book/what it means to you. Anecdotes welcome! Think: staff pick at a bookstore blurb

3. Put the blurb inside the book

4. Wrap or bag your book, but don't put a tag or anything identifying on it (the more mysterious the better!)

5. Come to the Ruby and be prepared to leave with a new book to take home!

If you're confused but interested, come anyway! We'll review the rules again in-person as many times as needed. Feel free to bring unwrapped used/new books if you want to share even more literary love!
