Drop in during this open house to view books and archival material from across the collections featuring humanity’s best friends: cats & dogs! We’ll have materials on display ranging from 18th century manuals on raising hunting dogs to children’s books like "Diary of Snubs, our Dog" (1928), and from "Majālis al-ʻushshāq," a 16th century Persian manuscript to the many cats of Ardis Press. Enjoy the collection, and then stay for hot cocoa and a chance to vote for your favorite furry friend in the archives!

Join us for this Third Thursdays at the Library series, where curators share highlights from the library's vast collections.
