This month, the display cases in the library's lobby feature battle miniatures in scenes from Agincourt and Antietam. The miniatures were provided by Nick Knight, professor emeritus in Engish, to tie in with his series of lectures on battle literature. The lectures are held from 12 to 1, Monday through Friday, continuing throughout the month of June. Come in and take a look!
