250 years of Jane Austen

The exhibit showcases 18th and 19th century books and manuscripts drawn from the library's extensive rare book collection. Visitors will have the opportunity to see early editions and other significant works from Jane Austen's theoretical library - what would likely have appeared on her bookshelf! The exhibit runs through May 29th.
