UCSB Reads 2027 Book Giveaway to Students

UCSB students: Kick off UCSB Reads 2027 by getting your free copy of this year's book selection, Enshittification: Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What to Do About It by Cory Doctorow. Campus leaders will hand out copies, while supplies last. 

Join your fellow Gauchos for this lively giveaway event in the Library's Paseo and celebrate the beginning of our shared exploration of Enshittification. It’s a great chance to pick up the book for coursework or recreational reading, mingle with other students, explore the new exhibition "Creating Community Through Books: 20 Years of UCSB Reads", and learn about upcoming UCSB Reads 2027 events.

UCSB Reads is an award-winning program that fosters a shared sense of belonging by bringing the campus and Santa Barbara communities together each year to read a common book that explores compelling issues of our time.

This event may be photographed or recorded.

UCSB Reads 2027 is generously supported by the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost and many organizations and individuals.
