Alumni Weekend: Special Collections HopTalk with Heidi Herr (Hybrid)

Friday, April 5, 2024
3:30pm - 4:30pm
Auditorium, Mason Hall

Hopkins Alumni are invited to a HopTalk presentation by Special Collections outreach librarian Heidi Herr titled "POP Goes the Library: Vintage Romance Comics, Board Games, and 1960s Pop Culture," as part of the 60th Anniversary Celebration of MSE Library. Presented in-person and live streamed.

Fun and romance at the library? Just what would Milton S. Eisenhower think? Do the mash potato and don your most fabulous paper dress as we explore the world of teenage heartbreak 1960s-style through the Sheridan Libraries' collection of rare vintage romance comics and board games in all their pulpy, ridiculous, and charming splendor. Learn about the perils of falling in love with teenage beatniks, how Woodstock can transform a hippie into a Stepford wife, and whether or not college is for you.

Location: Mason Hall auditorium and livestream
