Invites you to join us for our annual meeting including a talk by Ryan Zohar, Middle East Studies Librarian at Georgetown University and one of WRBG’s recent Rare Book School Scholarship recipients.

When: Wednesday, June 14th , 2023 at 11:00 a.m.

Where: Rosenwald Room, Library of Congress (LJ-230, across from the Rare Book Reading Room)

Our speaker, Ryan Zohar, is Middle East Studies Liaison & Reference Librarian at Georgetown University. He holds a BA in Middle East Studies from Columbia University, an MLIS from Long Island University, and an MA in Near East Studies from New York University. At the time he received the WRBG Rare Book School Scholarship, Ryan was nearly finished with his MLIS and was looking forward to the course “Introduction to Islamic Manuscripts” at the Free Library of Philadelphia. We are excited to hear about his experience at Rare Book School, and about his current position and work at Georgetown University.

The meeting will be followed by lunch at Hunan Dynasty at 12:30pm. The cost of the lunch will be $20.00.

Please RSVP below by Sunday, June 11th to attend the meeting.
