From the Post-Crescent.




Lawrence University\’s Seeley G. Mudd Library Heritage Room is some book nook. The curtained, dimly lit alcove is home to a collection of 2,600 rare volumes dating from the 16th
century. Some of the volumes in the Heritage Room are illuminated manuscripts. Some are art books designed to be pieces of art themselves.




Although it houses a book collector\’s wealth of treasure, the room is not under lock and key.
