On the first Friday of every month, up to five items from Pequot Library’s treasure trove of rare books and manuscripts will be revealed, opened from a sealed box. 

This first-time ever event is free and open to the public and will take place at 10:45 a.m. in the library's reading room, led by Pequot Library’s Executive Director Heather-Marie Montilla. 

“It is our special collections that make this remarkable institution truly unique,” says Montilla.

These collections include a vast array of more than 30,000 items and, together, they form an incredibly rich and vibrant portrait of the literary, religious, political, military, musical, and cultural life of America and the world.

The Pequot Library is located on 720 Pequot Ave, Southport.
