It’s finally summer and the lecture period is coming to an end – now is the perfect time to get a new book to read!

This Eat & Read special event offers you the opportunity to swap books you have already read for a new book. Get a freshly baked waffle and enjoy a refreshing drink while you read your new book, make yourself a bookmark and exchange ideas with other book fans.

The waffles we serve are fully vegan and can be enjoyed with whipped cream, sprinkles and other toppings. As for drinks, you will find coffee, a variety of hot tea, aswell as cold iced tea. The bookmark crafting table offers instructions for cute origami bookmarks, both for beginners and pros. Of course, you can also get creative and come up with your own origami bookmark design.


All donated books will be placed in the bookshelves of the IBZ, which you can browse every Wednesday at Eat & Read. As a “thank you!” for the books you hand in, you will receive a little surprise!
