Appointments may be available Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. and 1:30-3:30 pm. 
See Visiting the Library Reading Room for details on making an appointment.

The Museum Galleries will reopen on September 3 with abbreviated dates and hours.

The galleries will reopen with two temporary exhibits: Ladies First: A Century of Women’s Innovations in Comics and Cartoon Art and Making Faces: Portraits by John Kascht, which we currently plan to have on display through November 29.
