The sesquicentennial of a university gives reason to reflect upon the origins and growth of one of the core stakeholders of the academic learning process – the University Library. This exhibit traces the major milestones of the Syracuse University Libraries as a growing learning space. It is about a library as an institution that in the course of its service to the university had to overcome many constraints in order to put its patron, the ‘reader,’ first. 

Curated by Sebastian Modrow, Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts
