WRBG March In-Person Event: A Tour of the Semitics/ICOR Library at Catholic University

The Washington Rare Book Group invites you to join us for

A Tour of the Semitics/ICOR Library at Catholic University

The Semitics/ICOR Library at the Catholic University supports the research and teaching of the university’s Department of Semitic & Egyptian Languages & Literatures and its Institute of Christian Oriental Research (ICOR). The library holdings reflect the twofold interests of the department: the languages and thought of the Bible and the Ancient Near East; and the languages, literatures, and history of the Christian Near East.

WRBG will be joined by students from CUA’s Library and Information Science department on this tour, which will be guided by the library’s curator, Dr. Monica J. Blanchard. And everyone is welcome to join the CUA student group AGLISS for coffee after the tour at Busboys and Poets.

Because of space considerations, this event is limited to 8 attendees with priority for dues-paying members of WRBG. To reserve a spot, please RSVP below by Friday, March 22nd.

Directions: Catholic University is easily accessible from the Brookland-CUA Metro Station on the red line. There is also metered visitor parking available in front of the library and the along the east side of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

We hope you will join us!
