About the Multicultural Collection
Most of the collection, housed at the Dole Branch Library and including thousands of items—artifacts, traditional clothing, games, books, posters, music, and films from around the world—is available for library cardholders to borrow for up to four weeks. More fragile or rare items, such as a 6-foot-tall statue inspired by the sarcophagus of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen, an Aztec calendar stone, and straw artwork from Afghanistan, are on display or in-house use only.
