John M. Olin Library now has increased space to highlight the Libraries’ Special Collections to promote cultural and intellectual enrichment. The exhibition spaces in the Thomas Gallery and the Newman Tower of Collections and Exploration give faculty, students, and staff better access to materials on site for classes and research, as well as more opportunities to co-curate exhibits.
