One Mosaic: Many Voices," an exhibition celebrating a new work of art to commemorate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and the 1968 Baltimore unrest that followed in the wake of his assassination, will take place in the University of Baltimore's Langsdale Library and Auditorium, 1420 Maryland Ave., on Thursday, Jan. 15 at 4:30 p.m. The event, free and open to the public, will feature the unveiling of a large mosaic monument whose design was led by UB's community artist in residence, Christina Ralls.

For more information about this event, contact Langsdale Library at 410.837.4290. Please also see the event's press release.

Classes may not be in session in January, but that does not mean all is quiet within the walls of Langsdale Library. During the break, the 4th floor is being renovated so that our Special Collections department can use most of the floor for its collections.




And while you may not be able to enjoy the 4th floor while the walls are being moved around, you can come into our 2nd floor and enjoy the comfy chairs (equipped with a swing table for your books or a laptop) that arrived last semester.
