Join us for Acquisitions Night, the Folger's annual benefit for its collections. This evening features rare book displays, chats with the curators and conservators, and a buffet dinner.
Guests have the chance to personally examine books and ask questions as the curators and librarians reveal the newest additions to the world-renowned Folger collection in the Old Reading Room. The reading rooms are only open to the public once a year and are a stunning setting for this special night. A buffet dinner is served in the historic Great Hall, where guests can enjoy the spring exhibition, Extending the Book.
