April 16 is National Librarian Day! With the month of April right around the corner, we're revisiting a Fall 2024 class experience at the John Hay Library. 

During the Fall 2024 semester, students in Professor Harold Cook’s Science, Medicine, and Technology in the 17th Century (HIST 1825H) course had the opportunity to visit the John Hay Library. Attendees had an engaging and “transformative” experience thanks to the guidance of librarian Dr. Leo Lovemore.

Students were fascinated by the ability to be hands-on with primary source materials, as well as the sheer variety of collections housed at the library. Photos can be found above.
