Happy reading and safe travels. Here’s a neat idea from The Inn at ONU.

The Inn staff invites Icon viewers to “share a book” at the Inn.

Here’s how it works:

• Choose a favorite book in great condition and in a genre fascinating, riveting and memorable to you.

• Share it with others by donating the book to The Inn’s Share-A-Book library collection.

• Book donors will receive a bookplate with room to write the reasons the donor choose the book.

• Donors will also received 10 percent off at Pub dining at The Inn (excluding alcohol).
