Letters from the POTUS Which former U.S. President was the most eloquent and who had the nicest handwriting? This coming President’s Day, decide for yourself as Reeves Library of Moravian College unboxes a sampling of presidential letters from its Archives & Special Collections for this brief, one-week, mini-exhibit, Letters from the POTUS. This exhibit will feature a sampling of letters written and signed by many of your favorite former Presidents of the United States ranging from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Due to the age and light sensitivity of these materials, this exhibit will only be on display from Monday, February 17 until Sunday, February 23, 2020, so be sure to catch this while it lasts.

The "Remembering Debra Gaspar" group (click below) is devoted to Debbi's memory. Debbi was a longtime employee of Reeves Library, a beloved colleague and friend, who passed away on January 25, 2020. Faculty, staff, students and friends are welcome to join this group and share their thoughts and images about Debbi. Laugh with the angels, Debbi; you will be greatly missed!
