This Saturday September 17 from 9am-5pm, Special Collections and NCSU Libraries staff will be at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences for BugFest 2016 ! Stop by the NCSU Libraries "Ask Us" station on the 3rd floor (near the T-Rex fossil) for origami, stamps, coloring sheets from our digitized collection of Seguy prints , and more activities for the kids.
Our participation in BugFest has evolved from the Special Collections Research Center's development of collections in entomology , including the Zeno P. Metcalf Research Collection , and the event, "Bug-O-Rama," in the early 2000s that developed into the BugFest we know and love today. This poster for an early Bug-O-Rama included a creative depiction of the now demolished Harrelson Hall.
