By michelle blackwell on November 23, 2016

Units from across campus participated in the annual UBC Library/United Way Spelling Bee on November 16 in the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. The Library was represented by Team Auto Correct and Show Me the Honey, with an honorable mention to Team Auto Correct for spelling 11 out of the 20 words correctly! See the Spelling Bee word list.
