Visit the Emerson Bookstore You’ll Be Surprised—we add new merchandise all of the time. Look for new bumper stickers, coffee, chocolate, evolve fish, new bracelets: Wage Peace and Not in Our Name, new books and jewelry—you never know what you’ll discover! Contact: Bookstore Committee. |
| The Magazine Swap is a new feature within the used book space. Please bring in your gently read issues, and feel free to pick up another. Swapping is FREE! But it relies on you to make it work. And we’re always looking for volunteers. The commitment is small and the help is appreciated. Stop by and let us know you’re interested. Contact: Elaine Froneberger. |
| Like Coffee? Do you like the idea of some of the profits actually reaching the farmers themselves? Well, you’re in luck. The Emerson will be selling Fair Trade Coffee in the Bookstore, just off The Gathering Place (i.e. the foyer of Delaney Hall), on Sundays after the service. Help support the coffee growers and the Young Adult Group (YA) by buying into this program. Starbucks offers one generic Fair Trade Blend; our YA offers several—at slightly better prices. Fair trade means farmers selling to a wholesaler at prices that actually allow them to make a profit. Check it out: $7.00 for 12 oz, whole bean or ground. |
| Leisure Learning Unlimited! (LLU) In 2007, Emerson signed a rental agreement with Leisure Learning Unlimited, making Emerson the main campus for LLU classes in Houston! LLU has been Houston’s Source for Lifelong Learning since 1979, and Emerson is thrilled to welcome this fine educational institution into our midst! Among the scores of classes offered by LLU, there's surely one for you! Check out the Leisure Learning website at www.llu.com |
