We would like to invite you to come to the TU library Tuesday evening to see them.

The department also has a large number of legal patents of the Talbot family (the Earls of Shrewesbury) dating from the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries.  They even have a 15th century Irish lead gargoyle in the shape of a hound.

> ·         Note-taking and sketching are fine, but use pencil only. 
> ·         The department is not small-children-friendly, and all children must be accompanied and supervised at all times.
> ·         Food and drink are not allowed in the Reading Room.

> The University of Tulsa is located at Harvard and 11th Street.  To reach the library, turn West onto 6th Street off Harvard.  Sixth street is the one right next to the new Lorton Performance Center, which faces Harvard.  It passes between Fraternity Row on the left and a construction zone on the right, so traffic may move a little slowly.  Keep going straight two blocks until you reach the McFarlin parking lot (it's where 6th Street ends).  Park anywhere in the lot.  The library is the castle-ish looking building immediately south of the parking lot.
> 
> The library locks down at 5:00 pm, so you will need to call upstairs to be let in.  Master Diarmaid’s cell phone number is (918) 629-2177, or you can call me at (918) 629-2166.
