Annual Pitts Book Tree 2022

It is time again for one of Candler School of Theology’s best traditions: The Pitts Theology Library book tree! Since 2015, the library has been building bigger and bigger creations from books that will be available at our Spring book sale. This year’s is our largest ever, built over the course of a few hours by Pitts staff. We hope you will check out the timelapse video below of the construction, and then come to the library and see the real deal (http://pitts.emory.edu/hours).

Remember that all of these books, and many hundred others, will be available at our annual book sale, which will be in the library on February 28th and March 1st. All details about the sale can be found at http://pitts.emory.edu/booksale.

Annual Pitts Book Tree 2021

December brings colder weather, final exams, and one of the great Pitts Theology Library traditions—the annual Pitts Book Tree! Pitts staff use books that are designated for our Spring book sale to construct the tree, which seems to get bigger (and more symmetrical) each year. Check out this year’s creation on the main entry level of the library, as well as a timelapse video that shows the creative process as well as our work in years past.

We hope you will stop by and see the book tree, and if you see some books you like, come back for our annual Friends of the Library Book Sale!  In response to popular demand, this year’s sale will be extended over two days from March 1-2, 2022. All details about the sale can be found online at pitts.emory.edu/booksale.

Happy holidays from all of us at Pitts Theology Library, Emory University!
