New Exhibits: Qur'an and Bookmaking

Hewes Library has several new exhibits to view on the main floor.

West entrance: 1788 Handwritten Qur'an


This exhibition case will rotate often to showcase materials from the Monmouth College Special Collections & Archives. Currently on display is a handwritten copy of the Qur'an donated to Monmouth College by Reverend Gulian Lansing, who also donated the college's copy of the Conopus Stone.












East entrance: "Books as Art"


Currently on display are handmade books created in Professor Stephanie Baugh's ARTD 231. Examples of accordian, coptic, and stab binding are displayed throughout the two cases. This exhibit will be available throughout the month of January.
