In this conversation, The Mount’s director of interpretation, Anne Schuyler, and librarian, Nynke Dorhout, will be joined by special guest Sheila Liming, author of What a Library Means to a Woman and the scholar responsible for digitizing Wharton’s library.  In this session we will explore some of the more unusual books in the collection, ones that show her interest in non-European traditions and perhaps the quirkier aspects of her intellectual curiosity.
