Banned Books, Banished Writers and Historic Bonfires: Tales from the Rare Book Collection.
Reception Wednesday September 30th from 4 to 6 p.m
on the lower level of Hagerty Library. 

In conjunction with ALA’s Banned Books Week September 26 – October 3rd ! This exhibition, curated by Laurie Rizzo, displays written works that have been cause for conflict at one point in time or another. All the books in the exhibition are from Drexel’s Rare Books Collection.  Materials chronicle 1700 years of banning, banishment and burnings over ideas so controversial that church and state alike sought to prevent their spread.  




I have been informed that cookies will be served 😀

Pirate Party
Arrchives Open House
Friday September 25th from 4 to 6 p.m.
on the lower level of Hagerty Library.

Ahoy Matey!
Arrrr. Welcome new privateers and returning buccaneers! No need to walk the plank and end up in Davy Jones Locker. Come pillage, loot and hunt for treasure at the Arrrchives. Weigh anchor on Friday September 25th from 4 to 6 p.m. Argh! All hands on deck on the lower level of Hagerty Library.  There be grub and grog (sorry no rum). Yo-ho-ho. We’ll fly the Jolly Roger and make sure ye all don’t get marooned.
Fair Winds Lads and Lasses!
The Cap’n



If only we were in school on September 19th, this day would have so much more meaning.  I’ll be bringing my own rum for the grog, not saying you should, since Drexel doesn’t like you drinking on campus without a permit! (legal stuff)

Here are some upcoming events featuring free food, hosted by the Drexel University Archives:


The Past Personified: a Presidential History of Drexel University

This came in via the email link (thanks guys).  Now I’ve never actually been to an event at the library, so I can’t really judge, a review will be pending!
