Display: "The Horse Figure Collection"

"Collections" in the MIC Library

The Library is currently spotlighting a personal “collection” owned by a member of the Champlain College community.  The collection on display, “The Horse Figure Collection,” is on loan to us by a CC faculty spouse.  The figures are displayed in the glass case on the first floor of the Miller Information Commons.  Don’t miss this occasion to view an outstanding collection!
