Every day, innocent objects are lost or abandoned at the library. At the end of the year, we exhibit these lost & found items in an attempt to reunite these objects with their students. They receive names and bios in hopes they might attract the attention of the person who lost them. One of these objects is Misty Poppins, a blue compact umbrella:
Trim, muted, and unfailingly composed, the kind of umbrella who showed up just as the clouds turned curious. She may never have taken flight, but she was certainly seen drifting across brick walkways with intention. Some say she offered unsolicited advice. Others say she simply listened while you cried about your thesis in the rain.
Meet Misty and many other lost belongings at our display case in the Reference Area, now through graduation!
