Save the Date: Libraries’ blood drive June 21

Blood drives are back in Mann!  If you have been at Pattee/Paterno Libraries for a while, you’ll remember that we used to have blood drives in the Mann Assembly Room. For this area of campus,

For this area of campus, blood drives were moved to the Pasquerilla Spiritual Center soon after it’s completion. Due to construction in Pasquerilla this summer, we will be assisting the Red Cross with a special in-house blood drive. Don’t worry…they bring all their own equipment and protect the carpet!

So help us help the Red Cross and save the date — from noon to 5:30 p.m. on June 21 as the University Libraries will sponsor a Red Cross blood drive in the Mann Assembly Room, 103 Paterno Library, University Park.

Penn State is asked to supply over 5,000 units (or pints) of blood each year toward maintaining community blood supplies. Summer is a difficult time, especially during this first summer session when there are few people on campus. So whether you are an experienced donor or a first timer, make the commitment to help someone else in need this month.

Appointments are recommended. You can make yours by visiting www.redcrossblood.org and
searching either by zip code (16802) or sponsor code (psu). Our drive goal is to collect 25 units of blood with 34 people pre-registered. If you need help scheduling, want more information, or are a first time donor who wants some moral support, contact me, I can help — this will be my 97th donation.
