Fall Family Weekend Student-Led Library Exhibit Tours: Special Collections "Staff Picks"
What do a Qur’an manuscript, a tiny book of sandwich recipes, a 1990s photograph of Black Middlebury students, and a gauze page inspired by Renaissance Herbals have in common?

Join our students and staff for guided tours of the Special Collections “Staff Picks” exhibit in the library atrium (start times at 12:15pm and 2:15pm), and visit our open house in Special Collections (Library 101) from 11am-3pm.Davis Family Library
