Arab American Heritage Month: A Special Collections Pop-up In-Person

Join Murray & Hong Special Collections as we recognize Arab American Heritage Month with a hands-on exhibit. We will celebrate the Arab American experience by featuring a range of materials that highlight cultural contributions and history.  Items include rare books, cookery, comics, zines, and unique artists' works from the libraries' special collections. Everyone is welcome to turn pages and ask questions.
