"I cannot live without books" - Thomas Jefferson
It looks like HLS alum (LLB 1931 & SJD 1932) and professor Paul Freund (1908-1992) agreed. In these photos taken some 50 years apart, his books seem to have multiplied just a little! #NationalBookMonth #HlslSpecialCollections

It was great to see so many HLS students at our second HLSL Lightning Lesson this week! They learned about finding and using newspapers in 3 minutes or less, snagged free books and HLSL swag, and of course ate donuts. See you at our next LL! 🍩
An HLS Library staff member stands behind a table covered with a red tablecloth. An array of library information and giveaways are on the table, along with a (temporarily empty) box of donuts. Students stand in front of the table looking at the information. In the background is a cart of free books.Students cluster around a table covered with library information while an HLS Library staff member chats with them while standing behind the table.
A box of 12 donuts.
