Golisano Encounters Emily Dickinson

Recently Erin Bennett, Public Services Librarian and Holly Yates, Circulation and Interlibrary Loan Supervisor, were fortunate enough to be chaperones on the Emily Dickinson trip to Amherst, MA in conjunction with the class taught by Professor Tim Van de Brake. The 3-day trip included visiting both a public library and a college library to view their Emily Dickinson special collections, as well as touring the house that she lived in and her brother’s house next door. There also was time to explore downtown Amherst and nearby Northampton. Overall, the trip was a great success and the library was able to build relationships with students and faculty that will continue for years to come.
