The Rakow–Such A Special Place

Behind the Scenes at the Rakow Research Library for National Library Week

It’s National Library Week, a time to recognize the valuable contributions made by library workers everywhere-and especially at our very own Rakow Research Library! As the foremost library on the art and history of glass and glassmaking, the Rakow has everything from Tiffany design drawings to what are essentially cook books (aka “batch books”) for glass. It is the Rakow’s mission to acquire everything published on the subject of glass-in every format and in every language!
