Truxal Library Exhibit: Art Appreciation
Spotlight on Recently Acquired Art Books in Truxal Library
Welcome to Truxal Library's spotlight on recent additions to our fine arts collection. In addition to this virtual exhibit, there is a display of books in the second floor of Truxal Library.
If you are able to visit the library at Arnold campus, please know that we have a large selection of print art books available to browse and borrow. These are all located in the 'N' call number range on the second floor of the library. Art books are often very large, so make sure to also browse our oversized books as well. These are also located on the second floor, at the end of the range. Ask a staff member for help if you are not sure where they are. If getting to the physical library is not a possibility, please enjoy this selection of materials available online!
