On Wednesday, November 12, Sycamore Library will be hosting a celebration party from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Come celebrate our success! We will serve vegan cake, allergy-free cupcakes, coffee, and our famous Third Floor Punch (an original UNT Gov Docs recipe). All are welcome to this come-and-go event.

Third Floor Punch Courtesy of Nancy Reis 2 10 oz. pkg. sweetened frozen strawberries 1 46 oz. can ready to drink pineapple juice (in the canned food section of the grocery store. Do not get frozen concentrate!) 1 2 liter bottle of ginger ale Instructions: The night before the party, open the can of pineapple juice and remove the lid. Cover with saran wrap. Place can in freezer and freeze until solid. Place ginger ale in refrigerator to chill. On the day of the party, take the strawberries and now frozen pineapple juice out of the freezer about 4 hours before the party. Continue chilling the ginger ale. Just before the party, put the now slushy strawberries and pineapple juice in the punch bowl. Add the ginger ale. Stir, and serve. Makes 1 punch bowlful.
