Virtual Book Club: ‘The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections’

Liesl Weiss long ago learned to be content working behind the scenes in the distinguished rare books department of a large university, managing details to make the head of the department look good. But when her boss has a stroke and she’s left to run things, she discovers that the library’s most prized manuscript is missing. 

Book club will begin with a short presentation on real life special collections departments, followed by a discussion of the book.
