Syracuse University’s Third Annual Library Lock-In, “It Was a Dark and Brainy Night at E.S.

The winning team will win a $275 gift certificate from the University Bookstore, with other prizes to include gift cards for Carousel Mall, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble and other merchants.

Students must register to participate; registration is limited to 120 openings (60 two-person teams), and registration fee is $5 per student. Registration forms are available at all residence hall main desks, the Goldstein Student Center, the Office of Residence Life (ORL) at 111 Waverly Ave. and E.S. Bird Library’s main desk. Forms and fees should be returned to the ORL office by Friday, Feb. 22.

The event is co-hosted by ORL’s Academic and Intellectual Initiatives Committee and the Syracuse University Library.
