The Libraries Special Collections will be holding two open houses in November – 9:30–11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, and 1–3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20. Attendees can view the department's current exhibits ("Service and Solidarity: Historically Black Fraternities and Sororities at Binghamton" and "Arts of the Book: Recent Acquisitions"), get an up close look at some newly acquired contemporary artists' books and talk with archivists and special collections librarians about their work and the collections. The staff is especially excited to highlight the first two purchase prize winning entries in the annual Special Collections Student Book Arts Competition as well as objects on loan from students, alumni and staff affiliated with Black fraternal organizations at the University.
The open houses are open to all and no registration is required. Special Collections is located on the second floor of Bartle Library, North (LN 2320)
