50 Minutes-1 Book Series Returns to ARB

By:  Kevin Grace

After a hiatus for the past few months, the lunchtime talks in the Archives & Rare Books Library return with a new presentation this month.   Held in 814 Blegen in the Schott Seminar Room, these casual talks are held from 12 noon to 12:50, so bring your lunch and bring a friend.   On March 28, the presentation will focus on the 19th century blind Dublin street poet, Zozimus.  And, the presentation will herald a new hallway exhibit in the Archives & Rare Books Library that features photographs of urban buskers from cities far and wide.
