A volume of John James Audubon’s master work, The Birds of America, is on display on the main floor of the John Hay Library. Each plate will be on display for only one month. This month’s bird is the “Snowy Owl”. The library is open 9 to 5, Monday through Friday. The Library will be closed on Monday January 19th for Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday.
This elephant folio edition of The Birds of America, bound in six volumes, was presented by Albert E. Lownes to the Library on the occasion of his 50th class reunion in 1970.
