First Folio
https://www.library.unlv.edu/newsblog/2016/06/unlv-university-libraries-host-first-folio-shakespeare-exhibit.html

 The Folger Shakespeare Library, in association with Cincinnati Museum Center and the American Library Association, is touring a First Folio of Shakespeare in 2016 to all 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico.

The First Folio, printed seven years after Shakespeare’s death in 1616, includes 36 of his plays. Eighteen of those plays had never been printed before. Without the First Folio, plays such as // Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, The Tempest, // and// As You Like It // might have been lost forever.

UNLV University Libraries was selected as Nevada’s host site for “First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare, on tour from the Folger Shakespeare Library,” a national touring exhibit that will be on display in Special Collections from Sept. 1-29.

Reservations for a 30-minute self-guided tour of the exhibit or to attend any of the events can be made online at [] . Reservations may also be made in person at Special Collections at the Lied Library. All events are free, but RSVPs are requested.
