Join the English Expedition Club for a timely exhibit in this month of ghosts and ghouls on Dracula and Frankenstein at the Rosenbach Library, near Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square. At 12:00 Curator Edward Pettit will meet with Villanova students to show pages of the Dracula manuscript and discuss the history of this great collection in Philadelphia. Space is limited for the hands-on tour. Please email Professor Quigley (megan.quigley@villanova.edu) by Wednesday 12/18 if you’d like to join the hands-on tour.

SEPTA
There is a 10:47 train that arrives in Suburban Station at 11:21
There is a 11:17 train that arrives in Suburban Station at 11:50
There is a 12:17 train that arrives in Suburban Station at 12:50
There is a 12:47 train that arrives in Suburban Station at 1:21
It is approximately a ten minute (FAST) walk from Suburban station to the Rosenbach. I highly recommend taking the earlier train to make it to the library on time.
Driving:
When available, street parking is free for two hours. There are several parking garages located on 20th Street a few blocks north, near Walnut Street and Chestnut Street. I find parking there very difficult. If you decide to drive, leave time for parking and traffic.
