Thursday, June 12 • 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
Join us for a captivating look at Walt Disney’s animated fairy tale adaptations and how they differ from the original stories – it’s a tale as old as time!

Rare books from the USF Libraries Children’s and Young Adult Literature collections and original Disney artwork from their Mahan collection of American Humor and Cartoon art will be featured.
