Rhode Island College Adams Library

New exhibit in the library! Flipping Pages by Special Collections intern Rey Plante
How have textbooks changed over time? This exhibit compares 19th- and early 20th-century textbooks with their modern counterparts, exploring how knowledge has evolved and highlighting changes in the look, style, and experience of schooling across generations. The books used in the exhibit were drawn from the Special Collections Textbook Collection and the main Library collection.
Visit the exhibit on the 3rd floor of Adams Library through September.

P.S. Please don’t use our bones or anatomical models as sports equipment—RIC and Mortis really need to practice.
