Welcome to 2023!

Here’s hoping you had a relaxing and restorative break, and that you’re ready to hit the books again. All of us at Rice Library wish you all the best in the coming semester, and stand ready to assist you in achieving academic success. Let’s start Spring 2023 off with a smile, perhaps even a laugh, as we look at some of these turn of the 20th century postcards sent to wish friends and family a happy new year. All images are from MSS 010, the Postcards Collection.

For more fun, take a look at the display of postcards in the display case to the right of the library reading room on the second floor, room 2001.
