Walking with History, or, I am Still A-Flail

So I got a random call this afternoon, as sometimes happens, and in short Dolores Huerta was visiting on campus, someone told her about our Scifi collection, and they came over for a tour. (She adores Asimov's work, also loves Frankenstein, Fahrenheit 451 and Alice in Wonderland.) She was also all a-geek when I mentioned our Mesopotamian clay

Yeah, we've had them since the 70s too. We also just bought an Egyptian scarab from the reign of Thutmosis III (Hatshepsut's kid...it might have been done during her regency, I'll have to check..) !

Our next exhibit opening is going to be around November 17, and will be history of the book/printing (Witty Title TBD!), so we'll have some of those on display with a bunch of our other shinies. Ya'll should come!
