This spring’s Slocum Award participants discuss their passion and enthusiasm for books in a panel discussion. Presented annually since 1936, the Slocum Award for Student Libraries recognizes those Scripps seniors whose love for books and collecting has inspired them to build collections on their favorite subjects. On exhibit at Denison Library through May 18, 2013, the individual collections reflect a lively variety of collecting interests. Join these dedicated bibliophiles for a glimpse into worlds between covers:
Kathleen Carter: Perception of Beauty in Renaissance Art
Amy Hollander: Stories of Life, Stories of Woe: “Others” in the Americas
Breanna Walker: Happiness in Psychology and Faith
Rachel Kuenzi: Radical Political Theory for Kids (With Supplemental Readings for their Parents)
