Quilt Panels from National AIDS Memorial on Display
During the week of Oct 17, quilt panels from the National AIDS Memorial will be on display at the Arnold Bernhard Library on the Mount Carmel Campus, and Edward and Barbara Netter Library on the North Haven Campus.

Today, the National AIDS Memorial is a quilt spanning 1.2 million square feet. It’s fabric memorializes the names and stories of 110,000 lives lost to HIV and AIDS since the disease was identified in 1981.
The display is a collaboration between the Office of Community Engagement, Arnold Bernhard Library, and the Edward and Barbara Netter Library.
