The Known Lawrence Room

  The Lawrence is located on the second floor of the library. It is located in the Archives and Special Collections room. It has been there more many years and has become a very important part of the room. The Lawrence room is a collection of memorabilia, mostly books that were first editions. Many of the books were either written or signed by authors from Mississippi.

One of the Liberian assistants Alex Watson stated "The Lawrence room was made possible by a request from Seymour Lawrence, who donated the items inside it, including the Emmy award on the table." You can see the Emmy in the right corner of the bottom picture. This room was built next to the William Faulkner room which also contains plenty of memorabilia and also is a major asset to the Archives and Special Collections room..
