Today, Daybreak dove into the East Asian Library and the Gest Collection, which contains thousands of volumes of Chinese, Japanese and Korean Literature. We investigate its past, from the collection’s acquisition to the establishment of the East Asian Studies program, look at the library's presence in the campus community, and consider its future.

Listen in for an adventure through leaky basements, cozy study spaces, and Chinese knitting collections.
