About this event

Do you like to write your name in your personal books? Come learn about the history of ex libris or bookplates, labels with a printed design intended to indicate ownership usually pasted inside the front cover of a book, and their tremendous value in the library world.

Browse some examples taken from Archives & Special Collections at the University of Pittsburgh Library System before moving to the Text & conText Lab where you will be able to create (and take home!) your very own bookplates and stickers for your laptop or your e-reader. Make one for yourself or for other book lovers in your life.

No previous experience needed!

Facilitated by Anaïs Grateau and Megan Massanelli, University Library System
