Have important family documents that you want to preserve? Join the Avalon Branch in telling your story and preserving your memories. Staff from the University of Chicago Library will be here to assist library patrons in scanning personal materials —including photographs, letters, and personal memorabilia—and sharing guidance on how to preserve these important items for future generations. Digitization is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants may scan up to 15 individual items, including documents, photographs, or flat memorabilia (up to 8.5 x 11 inches). Due to limited capacity, guests are encouraged to bring their most meaningful materials. The first 25 participants will receive a free Archive-in-a-Box kit. These kits include basic preservation supplies and step-by-step guidance to help individuals safely store, organize, and care for personal and family archives at home—supporting the long-term preservation of photographs, documents, and keepsakes.

The motto of the Avalon Spanish Study Group is, “We teach each other.” We welcome people who are at the basic beginner and advanced beginner level in learning the Spanish language. We teach each other grammar and pronunciation. We also learn how to read, write, listen and speak Spanish. We all work from one book; however, you can start in the book at the level you are comfortable with. We meet for two hours. The first hour is used for advanced beginner learning and the second hour is used to help the basic beginner Spanish learner. For people who are at the advanced beginner level, sometimes we have a native Spanish speaker talk to us and answer questions that we have about the language.
