“Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” It may be October, but we’re feeling a little nostalgic for all the places our First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare touring exhibition traveled this summer.
See a few social media highlights from the Cleveland Public Library, the State Historical Society of North Dakota, Alaska State Libraries, and the University of Colorado Boulder—including a read-through of 36 Shakespeare plays and even a stray Pokémon. The tour only stops at one location in each state, and they made it count!
Cleveland, OH
