LLI members are welcome to become members of the Stevenson Library at Bard and can borrow library materials, according to Betsey Cawley, Library Director. Membership lasts through the academic year.
On October 8, the Around Bard class visited the Stevenson Library and explored the many collections in the library’s holdings, including the Arendt Collection, with Hannah Arendt’s personal library and the Sussman Rare Book Collection. The Library also holds a Hudson Valley Archive and the archives of Bard College.
