October 3, 2023

On a perfect October day, library staff gathered in the courtyard behind the newly rededicated Kline Tower to celebrate the start of the autumn season. There were piles of pumpkins, gourds, and apples for the taking and plenty of apple cider, popcorn, and—of course—apple cider doughnuts. Many thanks to Yale Hospitality for the treats and for helping set up the festive afternoon event.
