All you have to do is drop your item in the AWESOME BOX at the circulation desk. It will be checked in and tagged as AWESOME, letting everyone know that it was recommended by someone in the community. A new list of AWESOME Items will be posted monthly, but no names are used in association with any items dropped in the AWESOME BOX. Look for the AWESOME BOX and join the fun!
