"The food is amazing, the vibes are great." Came for the food, stayed for the conversation & connection. Last week @kulibraries hosted a public exhibition of Africa-related collections and resources to kickoff the Africana Librarians Council Spring Meeting at Watson Library.

Thatโ€™s pollen the female worker bees are bringing back to the hive. If you look close enough you might even see the queen! ๐Ÿ‘‘ Visit the Natural History Museum on Friday, April 17 from 10 a.m. to noon and offer your take on the Bee Tree!
