Do the books on your shelf, or the art on your walls, hold special meaning for you? You may be eligible for a prize from Harvard Library!

Come join us in the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Room to learn more about [The Philip Hofer Prize for Collecting Books or Art](https://library.harvard.edu/grants-fellowships/philip-hofer-prize) and the [Visiting Committee Prize for Undergraduate Book Collecting](https://library.harvard.edu/grants-fellowships/undergraduate-book-collecting-prize). We will explain the application process for each prize, answer questions, and hear from other Harvard collectors about collecting.

We particularly welcome students who aren't sure if they're collectors or if their collection fits the award scope.
