  • Sweetbitter: The Literary Legacies and Afterlives of Sappho
    Recurring

    All Day
    Main Library Room 346

    The ancient poet Sappho coined "sweetbitter" in one of her most evocative verses, still striking us to the heart nearly three millennia later. As with so many ancient figures, the poet is more legend than person today, her story told and retold even as her poetry continues to enchant and move. This exhibit will be on display through mid-August 2026.

  • Strange Wonders from the Band World
