New lobby display features early advisory committee
7 September 2023
As we utilize more of our own history within our space, we continue to feature the high tea with Rachel Hunt display in the lobby. The case at the entrance of the reading room has been changed to Edward Garratt's designs for our conference room table. Building upon that theme, the long case in the lobby has been changed from George H. M. Lawrence's early plans for the new library to the advisory committee created to guide those plans from seats at the conference table.
