Take a trip back in time and investigate maps of Olympic host cities at the time of their respective games. From the birth of the Olympics in Athens to the 2024 games in Paris, join us on this journey to some of the world's most epic cities and locales. A special item that we'll have on display is the proposal and plan for Detroit's unsuccessful bid for hosting the 1944 games — “Detroit Poised for Action.”

Join us (on the 2nd floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.

While you’re here, pick up a Third Thursday Passport and collect a stamp from each of the three Third Thursday Open Houses — the Clark Library, International Studies, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!
