Gett Down With Your Funky Shelf!

The Library's very own Book Cart Drill Team "Gett Down With Your Funky Shelf" will be performing at this year's Gettysburg Halloween Parade. The parade starts at the old visitor center on Steinwehr Ave, and will continue down Baltimore street and through the square this Tuesday October 30th, at 7:30pm. Don't miss your opportunity to see this once-in-a-lifetime performance! 

No SHHHH! Music in the library

 

Our popular Notes at Noon concert series resumes today – Tuesday, 10/16/12 – in the apse on the main floor of the library.  Join us at noon for a performance by Sunderman Conservatory of Music students, including the Sunderman Strings.  Drinks and dessert will be served; feel free to bring your own lunch.  See you there!

Collecting: Passion, Compulsion, or Pursuit of Happiness?

Next Monday, the Friends of the Musselman Library will be hosting a talk given by former U.S. Ambassador Lawrence Taylor about his lifelong passion for collecting at 4:00 pm in Musselman Library's room 018. A selection of Mr. Taylor's collection of Abraham Lincoln bookends are currently on display at Musselman Library.

Taylor has a large collection of Lincolniana that he has gathered in his travels across the globe. His bookend collection highlights the early 20th century tradition of giving Lincoln bookends as gifts for lawyers upon their graduation. The exhibit will be on display at Musselman Library through December 2013. Join us next Monday to hear more former Ambassador Taylor's collection.
