The College Archives invites the Simmons Community to visit a display of selections from the Archives' collection of historical children's books.

Books by Lewis Carroll, Louise May Alcott, Beatrix Potter, and others--many dating back to the 1800s--are prominently featured, as are an Alice in Wonderland chess set and other delightful pieces from the Archives Memorabilia Collection. These items will be on display outside the College Archives on the second floor of Beatley Library throughout the month of April.
