New for fall semester: our first Sensory-Friendly Study Room 👀

Developed with input from RIT's Spectrum Support Program, this room features lower overhead lighting levels, a customizable color LED light panel, sound-dampening wall panels, a bean-bag chair, fidget toys, and sound-dampening headphones.

Room 3472 is on the third floor of Wallace Library, and can be booked through the reserve.rit.edu system. For more information on room reservations, visit rit.edu/go/GAE4M

We also have several pairs of sound-dampening headphones to be checked out at the Library Services Desk, for use anywhere in the building.

This is a pilot program that may be expanded based on student feedback. If you have used this room, we'd love to know what you think!

RIT’s Cary Graphic Arts Collection and Kubert Comics Gallery hold a significant archive of Joe Kubert’s studio materials, correspondence, process work, and original art, some of which is featured in the exhibit alongside Joe Kubert’s original art pages for the graphic novel Yossel: April 19, 1943.

Adam Kubert is an American comic book artist and part of the famous Kubert family of comic book creators, including his father, Joe Kubert, and his brother, Andy Kubert. He studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology and later at The Kubert School, founded by his father, where he also served as an instructor throughout his career. Adam began his career in comics lettering at the age of 12 on various DC Comics titles. Over the span of decades, Adam has worked on hit titles such as: X-Men, Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Avengers, Spider-Man, Superman, Ghost Rider and almost all Marvel titles in some form.
