Check out the book display now on the 1st floor of Hayden Library.  This selection honors Ada Lovelace and includes books and films on the past, present and future of women in computing.

Inspired by the New York Times article from February 13, 2019, The Secret History of Women in Coding by Clive Thompson, these books will be on display until Hayden Library closes for renovations.
