There is also some material of a very scurrilous nature. Every year an exhibition of rare and curious items is presented from the holdings of the Library. The current exhibition is titled: 'Bram Stoker & the Haunting of Marsh's Library', an exhibition of books that were requested by Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, when he came to read in the Library in 1866-67.
