Thursday March 17, 4:00-7:00 pm

Third Thursday at the Map Library, Open House

University of Michigan, Hatcher Graduate Library, Library Gallery, First Floor

Please join us for this special Third Thursday in the Library Gallery. Our theme for March is “Mapping Science” in conjunction with the current Library Gallery exhibit Places & Spaces: Mapping Science, a traveling exhibit created by Dr. Katy Borner of Indiana University. The exhibit was created to demonstrate the power of maps to navigate and manage physical places but also abstract topic spaces. It introduces knowledge mapping techniques to the general public. It is meant to inspire cross-disciplinary discussion on how to best track and communicate human activity and scientific progress on a global scale. Please join us, students, faculty and the public are welcome!

Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink...

But plenty to look at in our upcoming Third Thursday! In support of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts Winter Theme Semester on Water we have pulled out our finest mapped examples of water.

Some of the items that we will be featuring are early charts of the Great Lakes, a 25 ft. long scroll map for navigating the Colorado River, a World War II pilot’s cloth emergency map showing ocean currents, 17th century nautical charts, and some remarkable maps of the Mediterranean Sea . As a special feature we will be previewing MFA student Collin McRae’s short animation “Stitch”. Please join us for this special event in the Hatcher Gallery Thursday February 17, 4:00-7:00 pm. Dont forget this is in the Gallery, not in the Map Library itself, hope to see you!

The Third Thursday of the month is upon us!

This month we are following a library wide theme and are featuring biblical maps.

After stopping by the 8th floor to view the exhibit stop on by the Audubon Room to view the current exhibit "Celebrating 400 Years of the King James Bible: Its Origins in Manuscript and Print".

After you have wandered through our display ( or before, the map sale is all day long!) , pick up a few maps next door from our Map Sale! Due to a sudden surplus of duplicate maps we have many to sell, from local maps of the area to maps from all over the world. We even will have a couple globes for sale too! Most maps will be only a dollar so stock up a couple for your car, one for your bare wall in your new space and another of lands you one day would like to see first hand. Not only will we have maps and atlas's for sale, but this time we will also have language tapes as well!

Map Sale and the first Third Thursday of the Semester!

All Maps one dollar unless marked with globes and atlas's for sale as well. All duplicates from a recent donation. Perfect for a wall hanging a collage, or any other projects to enhance your life.

Did you just move in and have an empty space on your wall? A map is the perfect filler of space, filled with information and appealing to the eye as well. Do you need to refresh your furniture? Perhaps a few maps for decoupaging is just what the doctor ordered like this chair done by Bombus Designs


or maybe a few fancy envelopes like RingAroundTheMoon has made?


So wander by this evening and ask about our duplicates and stay to check out the maps!
