The Rare Book and Special Collections Division is preparing for our next public symposium, Our Common Ground: 250 Years of Americans Engaging with Nature on Thursday, May 14, 2026. As we look forward to welcoming you all to the Library once again, we are reminded of the excitement and outpouring of support for our last public symposium, Book Artist in the Studio, held in August 2025. This blog post offers a recap of the complete Book Artist in the Studio programming including highlights from our speakers, photos of the curated displays, and the complete symposium webcast.
