The Robertson Davies Library has acquired two new display cases that support its mandate to showcase and foster interest in the library’s collections. Students in the Book History and Print Culture Collaborative Program will now be able to mount small exhibitions allowing them to learn more about the library’s collections and gain experience in handling, describing and exhibiting rare books.
