Lunch with the Libraries & Museums – Adopt A Resource

Presented in partnership with Lifelong Learning and Hopkins at Home, Lunch with the Libraries & Museums is a series of free, online, public lectures through which staff from the Sheridan Libraries & University Museums discuss ongoing research, teaching, and curatorial work

From medieval manuscripts and rare books to films, photographs, and archival materials, the Sheridan Libraries acquire and preserve important collections that fuel research, teaching, and discovery at Johns Hopkins and beyond. Through the Adopt-a-Resource program, donors help protect and share these treasures by supporting their acquisition, conservation, and digitization.

Join Sheridan Libraries librarians and curators as they introduce their newest adoption candidates and share the stories that make these remarkable resources so compelling. Whether you're searching for a unique holiday gift or simply have a passion for history, books, and culture, you'll discover a meaningful way to connect with and support our collections.

Our presenters will include:

• Liz Mengel – Associate Dean for Collections and Academic Services
• Donald Juedes – Research and Instruction Librarian for Art History, Film and Media Studies, and Near Eastern Studies
• Gabrielle Dean - William Kurrelmeyer Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts 
• Moderator: Margaret Burri - Associate Director for Research, Instruction, and Special Collections
