Today marks Jane Addam’s 158th birthday and at UI Press, we’re the proud publisher of many of her books and personal papers. As a fitting tribute to the mother of social work, next week on September 13, the Press will hold a reception at Jane Addams Hull House Museum to celebrate our 100th anniversary. And you’re invited!

Attendees will get a special look at the new Hull-House Museum exhibition “Participatory Arts: Crafting and Social Change.” Light refreshments and a silent auction will also feature at the event.

We hope to see you there!
