Join the Student Friends of the Princeton University Library on a tour of spooky items in Special Collections, with Librarian Emma Sarconi.

Some items featured on this tour in the past included death masks, book curses, and manuscripts of urban legends. Additionally, more items will be pulled from Special Collections to complete the spooky season display. After the conclusion of the tour, we will head to Bent Spoon to get treats, courtesy of the SFPUL.
