Looking good at 50!

In the spring of 1966, the North Broadway Jonsson Campus of Skidmore College opened, featuring the Lucy Scribner Library at its center. Although the physical building and ways of doing research have changed dramatically since the opening, Scribner Library remains at the heart of the Skidmore community.

A week-long celebration with a variety of activities is scheduled April 11 to 15 to celebrate the library's golden anniversary. Here’s a brief update.
