Librarian's Pick ⛰️

Several of our library staff have been caught gossiping about Pompeii over the last few weeks, discussing the new Tom Hiddleston Documentary, recent trips, and future plans. They are all excited about the latest issue of National Geographic which has a series of articles on Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Oplontis.

Check out the journal on our journal spinners at Harrison (assuming one of our staff isn't already reading it).
