Monsters & Creatures (Deep Dives into Special Collections)
Presented by Chelsea Jacks

Thursday, April 8, 2021 at 1 p.m. (EDT)

What is a monster? Is it something that hides in the darkness waiting to scare us, or simply a projection of our own fears and uncertainties? Whether a tall tale, superstition, mythical creature, or all of the above, monsters inhabit a special place in art, fiction, and history.

Join Chelsea Jacks on a tour of the monsters and creatures that lurk between the pages of the works in Special Collections, as she examines why supernatural and mythic beings have such a inescapable grasp on our imaginations and culture.
