Winter Associates' Events

Holiday Party

Fun was had by all on December 8 as Library Associates and staff members celebrated the season at the annual Holiday Party. More than 150 people filled historic Riggs Library's elegant main floor, enjoying festive food and drink and the wonderful singing voices of the Georgetown Chimes. The party is the library's way of saying "thank you" to all the Associates and friends who continue to offer their support throughout the year. As usual, this was a time for catching up with old friends and making new ones along the way.

Exploring the Labyrinth

Despite freezing snow and sleet, more than 50 Associates bravely gathered on February 15 to hear Dr. Martin Irvine, Associates Professor of English, and Dr. Deborah Everhart, Humanities Computing Specialist, lecture on "Labyrinth: Medieval Studies and Humanities in the 21st Century." Irvine and Everhart created the Labyrinth Multimedia System to further work in Medieval Studies, and they demonstrated and described how they developed this pioneering electronic information resource. The lecture was followed by a reception where the speakers were available to answer additional questions from those attending.
