Friends of Princeton University Library: Tour of ReCAP

Join the Friends of the Princeton University Library for a behind-the-scenes look at ReCAP.

What is ReCAP? ReCAP (Research Collections and Preservation Consortium) is an off-campus storage facility with more than 18 million books shared with Harvard, Columbia, Yale, and the New York Public Library. The ReCAP team will provide a tour of the facility and share how the collections are stored and processed. Books ship out daily to and from Princeton and the other institutions -- and the Friends will get an exclusive inside look. 

The group will meet at 10:30am at the ReCAP facility. Tour will be followed by lunch in town (location TBC).
