Exciting news! Our Qumran Scrolls Jar will soon be on the road — the Houston Museum of Natural Science is borrowing it for a special exhibit, and it departs from Lanier Library this week.

The jar will be on display at HMNS for about a year, so if you've been wanting to see it up close here at the library, this is your last chance for a while! We're thrilled it will be shared with an even wider audience during its time on loan!

Tune in live this Friday for Religion & Public Life: An Interview with Robert P. George.

Robert P. George is a leading legal scholar and public intellectual who has served on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and chaired the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. Rather than a traditional lecture, this will be a dynamic conversation exploring religion's role in public life today.
