"Beautiful Books" Exhibit
Title
"Beautiful Books" Exhibit
Creator
Katherine Owens, Megan Lepak, and Madison Theodore
Date
Fall Semester 2018
Contributor
Megan Lepak, Caroline Martin, and Caitlin Trachim assisted with the creation of this digital collection.
Description
The items in this collection were the books exhibited on November 15, 2018. Because the exhibit allowed us to highlight different books than the lobby display permitted, the most beautiful books in the collection were selected. Twice as many books as could be shown were originally pulled, so this collection represents the crème de la crème of what we own.
Coverage
Books from the 16th to 21st century were included in the exhibit.
