We couldn’t resist sharing one more #boatsinthelibrary image as the summer seems to float away from us. We feel as if we are amidst a #seaofwords , classes, and events as campus returns #backtoschool. We can certainly relate to the #seamonster in the midst of our August image from this year’s #Pennlibraries wall calendar. The calendar features images selected from across our collections that where then transformed into #digitalcollages using the themes of #travel and #exploration as our guide.***“Leviathan of the High Seas” digital collage by: Emily WhiteSources:*Trattato di varie cose attenenti a guerra, molini, aque, pesi, mechaniche fortezze, et altro.
