Ready to get deep into the Halloween spirit this October? You have some great opportunities at Emory\u2019s Libraries, including a blood drive!<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Blood Drive on October 30th <\/strong><\/p>\n

Emory Libraries and Museum Wellness Committee is sponsoring a blood drive with the American Red Cross on Oct. 30 from 11am\u20134pm in Woodruff Library\u2019s Jones Room. Anyone can sign up to do a good deed and give blood during this event! Bram Stoker wrote in \u201cDracula\u201d that \u201cwe are strong, each in our purpose, and we are all more strong together.\u201d By giving blood, you are helping support the members of our collective community during this time of great need across the southeast. Those who donate blood will also receive a $10 Amazon gift card! You can sign up to give blood here: <\/span>https:\/\/www.redcrossblood.org\/give.html\/drive-results?zipSponsor=EmoryLibrary<\/span><\/a>  <\/span><\/p>\n

If you have any questions about this blood drive (or if you\u2019re interested in volunteering), please contact Emory Librarian Peter Shirts at <\/span>pshirts [at] emory [dot] edu<\/a><\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bram Stoker at Rose Library <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library is the home of the <\/span>John Moore Bram Stoker collection<\/span><\/a>, a wealth of items from and related to the Irish author Bram Stoker. John Moore collected over 4,000 items, including different editions of Stoker\u2019s works in various languages, playbills of Dracula and vampire-related productions, and memorabilia. The collection also includes the handwritten manuscript of Stoker\u2019s novel \u201cLady of the Shroud\u201d, which has been digitized and is <\/span>available to view online<\/span><\/a>. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The John Moore Bram Stoker collection is a relatively new addition to Rose Library, having arrived three years ago in October 2021. Since then, the collection has been used heavily in exhibits, classes, and in the reading room. This semester alone, we have an English class diving deep into the papers, as well as two research fellows who consulted the collection for <\/span>their research on Dracula<\/span><\/a>. While we currently do not have an exhibit up about the collection, the papers are open for anyone to use in the Reading Room. You can learn how to make an appointment on the <\/span>Rose Library website<\/span><\/a>. <\/span> \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
