Fall Resident Coffee Bar Pinterest Idea — PUMPKIN SPICE COFFEE BAR

**It's time to pumpkin spice up your community** with a fall-themed coffee bar. For those that already have a coffee bar established, simply add the fall decor and flavors to kick it up a notch.
If you are a community with little to no amenities, you can create this amenity easily just by carving out some table space for a coffee maker and a few extras. Use the fall season to bring more value to your residents!

Community Library for Apartments Resident Event — READING CORNER

Host a library, book club, or book drive to celebrate Read a Book Day (September 6) or simply just because!
**Library:** Encourage your residents to donate their used books to your free resident library. Set it up on an empty table in the community room or add a shelf to an empty corner.
**Book Club:** Poll your residents online to see if they would want to join a book club. You can select a resident to lead the charge and let them know you'll provide light snacks or wine for their meeting.
**Book Drive:** Help residents keep their homes tidy while also giving back by hosting a book drive all month long. See if a school, daycare, after-school program, or library will accept the books.
