Join us on Thursday, September 19th, for the opening of Rare Books 101, the new exhibition in the Rare Book Room at Central Library. From 5 - 7:30 pm, light refreshments will be served, and the curator will be available for questions about the exhibition.
Rare Books 101 offers an in-depth look at the unique and extensive rare book collection held by the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library. This exhibition guides the viewer through understanding and appreciating the rare books that enrich our shared cultural heritage in Western New York.
This exhibition is perfect for those new to the subject or anyone interested in learning more about these treasured volumes. Explore questions like: What makes a book ‘rare’? How did these rare books come to Buffalo’s Library? What collections does our Library contain?
The exhibit will be on display in Central Library’s main floor Rare Book Room from September 19, 2024 - April 1, 2025.
