Bass Library

If you, like the Queen of Hearts here, plan on making (or consuming) tarts and pies this coming week, we have a book recommendation for you!

Though this stained-glass image resides inside Sterling Library, you will *not* find "The Art of Making Tarts" or "The Complete History of Jams" on the shelves.

Happy Thanks-reading from Bass Library!..
