The University of Washington Libraries is hosting a national exhibition based on Mary Shelley's classic novel, Frankenstein, March 4 through April 13, 2005. The University of Washington was chosen as one of 80 public, community, college and medical libraries throughout the United States as an exhibition site. A complete listing of events and programs offered in conjunction with the exhibit can be found by visiting the University of Washington Libraries Frankenstein website at http://www.lib.washington.edu/ougl/exhibits/frankenstein/.
