Game Table

The Darwin R. Barker Library now has a beautiful teakwood game table available for playing chess, checkers or backgammon. A deck of playing cards is also at hand for card games of choice. This table was provided through a generous memorial gift to the library from Richard W. Dikeman in memory of John A. Parker. It is located in the Steele Room and may be used whenever the library is open, providing the room is not already being used for a meeting. All are welcome to make use of this new addition to the facility.

Why Margaret Fuller Matters

Who was Margaret Fuller? Fuller was a pioneering nineteenth-century American feminist, literary and social critic, and the first American woman to work as a foreign journalist. She was a contemporary of such notables as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Greeley and Bronson Alcott.
The Barker Library is proud to be hosting a traveling display which includes a
a chronological telling Fuller's life and explains her views on women’s rights, education (especially female), class, slavery, American Indian rights, religion, and Transcendentalism.
This diplay was provided by the Margaret Fuller Bicentennial Committee and will run through March 8, 2011.
