Friends of the Libraries 
Stop by Allen Library to check out "Images of Labor and Social Justice: The Art of Richard V. Correll." Correll's work touches on topics such as labor, social justice, civil rights, and war. The exhibit, which includes work Correll did for the Great Depression-era Washington State WPA, continues through April 19 in the Allen Library South basement and the Allen Library North balcony. 
Celebrate the UW Ethnomusicology’s 50th Anniversary by viewing a collection of more than 400 instruments. The exhibit, on display Feb. 1-21 in Allen Library North lobby, reflects the musical traditions by visiting artists from music-rich cultures in Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas. 
Explore the routes, motivations and experiences that brought South Asians to the Pacific Northwest between the 1890s and the post-WWII era.
