Honors Reading Room images

As you enter the Harold B. Lee Library, take a stroll through the main floor. Pass the circulation desk and the Information Commons and you’ll see a glass-enclosed study area called the Honors Reading Room. Lining the back walls of the Reading Room are some large framed images of books — beautiful books, all from L. Tom Perry Special Collections.

These photos constitute a quick pictorial history of the book, from early written records like cuneiform tablets to the modern fine press movement. Take a moment to stop by and look at these images, or take advantage of the quiet place to study (you don’t need to be an Honors student to use the Reading Room).
