SLAC hosts button-making event

The Student Library Advisory Club (SLAC) hosted a button-making event on Nov. 15 in the Library located in the C Building.

Students and faculty came together to make their own custom buttons. Participants could use acrylic-based pens to color on the buttons. 

Liz Hartig, faculty reference librarian/public services at MCCC, helped coordinate this event alongside Claire Lane, SLAC president. 

“Claire was actually the one who came up with the idea for this specific event,” Hartig said. 

This was SLAC’s first year doing a button-making event. 

Hartig said the club wanted to host a fun event that was quick and easy for students and faculty to participate in.
