Main Floor (2nd floor)

Looking for ideas for your next t-shirt design, sticker project, team logo, tattoo, or wall decoration? Take a break and explore a selection of books from Gordon Library and Archives & Special Collections. 

For this new event, WPI Librarians and Archivists are pulling art and design books from the stacks. Modern, historical, beautiful, and intriguing books from our collections are available for you to peruse and flip through. Think petting zoo, but with books! Get inspired by botanical drawings, graphic art, architecture plans, mechanical designs, and more. Don't forget to snap pictures as you go!

This event will be held on the main floor of Gordon Library, next to the popular reading section.
