All are welcome to an introductory tour of the Beinecke Library, its mission, history, architecture, collections, and services. A member of the Beinecke Library staff generally leads the Saturday introductory tour. Reservations are not required.

Note: there will be no tour on Saturday, January 12, as the library will be closed due to nearby construction, or on Saturday, September 7, 2019, as the library will be closed to all but current Yale students on that day for the annual student open house.

In conjunction with the exhibition Life of the Party: Jerome Zerbe and the Social Photograph and Michael Childers: Author! Author! https://beinecke.library.yale.edu/exhibitions/life-party-jerome-zerbe-an…
