View flamboyant sea monsters, trace epic quests from literature, and be inspired by all the wild and magical things depicted on maps throughout history. With Halloween coming up, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the spooky, mysterious, and mythic objects in the Clark Library’s collection!
Join us (on the 2nd floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here, pick up a Third Thursday Passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — the Clark Library, International Studies, Asia Library, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!
