Science Fiction Society
The University of Massachusetts Science Fiction Society (UMSFS for short) [was] the second largest Science Fiction and Fantasy lending library on the east coast. We pride ourselves on having a relaxed atmosphere where students and can stop in, relax, and engage in intelligent, if silly and sometimes absurd, conversation. Contrary to our name, we cover all of speculative fiction, which contains science fiction, fantasy, horror, alternate history, and many other genres.
We hold weekly meetings that includes game nights, movie nights, arts and crafts, short story readings, filk song circles, and many other events.
UMSFS is also one of the oldest RSOs on campus, and is home to about 8,000 volumes of Science Fiction and Fantasy writing. We are also always on the look out for new books, and new members.
