Bring your four-legged friends to a tail-wagging celebration of Special Collections’ Chapin-Horowitz Dog Book Collection, the second largest collection of books about dogs in the United States. We’re opening our Reading Room for a full day of literary exploration and activities, with librarians and archivists on hand for chin scritches and belly rubs.

Valentine-related stereoviews are rare. There are many series of views that depict love, courtship, and marriage.
We are delighted to share about the work of Kate Conley, Professor of French & Francophone Studies and Chancellor Professor of Modern Languages & Literatures, who recently co-edited "So You Want to be a Dean? Pathways to Deanship."
Dr. Stephen Sheehi (Sultan Qaboos bin Said Chair of Middle East Studies) co-authored with Lara Sheehi (George Washington University Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology) to publish "Psychoanalysis under occupation: practicing resistance in Palestine."
Last year when I wrote about Santa stereoviews, I stated that I did not know of any stereoviews that depicted reindeer. Now, I stand corrected.
- The Provost's Office and William & Mary Libraries invite you to a Writers’ Retreat in Swem Library. The purpose of the retreat is to give you uninterrupted time to work on a specific writing project, complete research, edit a manuscript or prepare a grant proposal. The retreat will provide quiet space in Swem, along with food, beverages and (perhaps most importantly) STRUCTURE.
William & Mary Libraries and the Dean of Arts & Sciences are pleased to provide funding to cover the registration costs for up to 5 faculty and graduate students interested in attending the Digital Humanities Summer Institute, June 5-9 (on-site at University of Victoria) and June 12-16, 2023 (online).
Take a minute each day during final exams to recharge with these activities at Swem! All events will take place in the first-floor lobby area unless otherwise noted.
Although National Thanksgivings were periodically proclaimed from Colonial times in America, Thanksgiving as a Holiday was not formally adopted until Abraham Lincoln declared a day of Thanksgiving in 1863.
