Events: December 2006 Archives

Our Rare Book of the Month discussion series continues on Wednesday, December 13th, at 4 p.m., in the Special Collections Reading Room on the mezzanine of Paley Library.

This month's feature is the Gutenberg Bible, the first book printed from moveable type in the west, circa 1455. You are invited to inspect the Libraries' copy of this rare volume and participate in a discussion led by Tom Whitehead, Head of Special Collections. Tom's discussion will also include progressive printing of the 15th century and the process of hand type composition and printing.

For more information, call the Special Collections Department at 215-204-4571.

Free coffee and snacks will be available on the main floor of Paley Library on Thursday and Friday evenings, December 7 and 8. Sponsored by the Academic Affairs Committee of Temple Student Government and by the Temple Libraries, the event will begin at 7:00 p.m. and last until the coffee and goodies run out.

Good luck on your finals!
