Keynote Presentation: The Looting of the Kenyon College Library
Program: Mr. McDade has written several books on the theft of valuable rare papers, books, and book plates by an odd assortment of thieves, almost entirely motivated by greed.

Mr. McDade details this bizarre story in Disappearing Ink: The insider, the FBI, and the looting of the Kenyon College Library. Additionally, Mr. McDade will talk briefly about his most recent research as well as mention some of his other work.
