Celebrate Halloween with Ebling Library at Skin and Bones: A Spine-Tingling Collections Open House, Friday, October 30 from 10am to 4pm in the Historical Reading Room. For the “bones” of it all, Ebling’s Curator of Historical Collections has put together a spooky exhibit of skeletal illustrations dating from the 16th century to the 20th century, while for the “skin” she will have a selection of distinctive book bindings on display. Drop in and take a peek, extra credit if you come in costume!
