Everyone is invited to visit the L. Tom Perry Special Collections in the Harold B. Lee Library to learn about the ancient writing system cuneiform.

The home’s artist studio has a “spirit” all its own. Part of the BYU Motion Picture Archive Film Series. The Library auditorium doors open at 6:30, we recommend you arrive early.
SPOOKY AND STRANGE IN THE ARCHIVE
October 29 from 11:00 am until 2:00 pm
Get in the “spirit” of Halloween and come visit the “spooky” Special Collections! Curators will dig up strange, bizarre or even macabre items from their collections stored in the vaults buried under the quad. HBLL 1130 on level 1 of the Harold B. Lee Library. If you are squeamish you should skip this one.
