Adopt a Book
The Kelsey Museum has established a fund to support the acquisition
of books for our library. Housed on the second floor, the library
contains approximately 10,000 books on the ancient world. Since
the Museum has a modest budget for purchasing new books, we are
asking our Associates and supporters to help "adopt"
a book for the Kelsey. Below is a wish list compiled by the curators.
You can select a specific book or simply send a check for general
aquisitions. Please make your check payable to the Kelsey Museum,
and send it to the attention of Michelle Biggs. Thank you for
your generous support!
