Spencer Research Library 50th Anniversary

The University of Kansas Libraries invite you to save the date for an exhibition opening in honor of the 50th anniversary of Kenneth Spencer Research Library. Dedicated on November 8, 1968, Spencer Research Library will celebrate its semicentennial – fifty years to the day – on November 8, 2018. We look forward to commemorating this special occasion with friends, alumni, and community members.
