PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE

In 2002, the George Mason University Libraries acquired their one-millionth print volume - truly an extraordinary feat given the relative youth of the university. The whole campus community is invited to share in this celebration, which captures the idea of libraries as the keepers of knowledge from the past and present, while always anticipating the future.
