Showcasing some of the most interesting, beautiful, and rare items recently purchased to support Hopkins research and teaching, the Sheridan Library's Adopt a Book program allows you to adopt selected items by underwriting their costs. Your adoption helps library staff acquire more research collections, preserve treasures for future generations, and make rare materials available around the world through digitization.
Join us for a virtual presentation from our talented curators as they share about special pieces from our collections. Our presenters include:
Sam Bessen – Eleanor and Lester Levy Family Curator of Sheet Music and Popular Culture
Jennifer Jarvis – Paper Conservator, Sheridan Libraries
Don Juedes – Academic liaison librarian for Art History, Film and Media Studies, and Near Eastern Studies
Liz Mengel – Associate Dean for Collections and Academic Services
Mack Zalin – Librarian for Classics, Comparative Thought and Literature, Jewish Studies, and Modern Languages and Literatures
