Exhibits are a powerful and engaging way to visually promote the rich collections of the MSU Libraries. They enable staff to spotlight significant topics, events, or themes while drawing attention to valuable library materials and connecting them with visitors.

I have had the privilege of curating four exhibits at the Main Library during the 2018-2026 time period. Creating these exhibits is a substantial undertaking that demands careful planning, creativity, and close collaboration with colleagues across the library, particularly the talented team in Graphic Services.

“America at 250: Celebrating Freedom, Confronting Inequities, and Reimagining Our Constitutional Legacy.” May 2026 – October 2026.

“The Politics of Food.” With Andrea Kepsel. November 2024 – March 2025. 

“Armistice Day and the End of the Great War.” June – September 2018.  

“Happy birthday, Mr. President: Honoring the 100th anniversary of the birth of John F. Kennedy.” November 2017 – January 2018.
