The Library welcomes Columbia College Chicago parents and other visitors! The Library is hosting a number of events over the course of Parents Weekend, including a chat by the College Archivist, Heidi Marshall, on the College's history (due to the number of registrants, this event is being held down the street at the 1104 S. Wabash building) and a chat on the Library itself called Way Beyond Books.
On Sunday, join the Library from 11-1 as we host a Bagel Brunch for parents and their students.
Most events require pre-registration. Here is a link to the Office of College-Wide Events for more information: www.colum.edu/Student_Life/Parent_Weekend/Frequently_Asked_Questions.php
