The Latin term Ex Libris means “from the library of…” and is commonly featured in bookplates or labels pasted into books to identify their owners. A McGill Library bookplate from the 1950s was modified to create the Ex Libris brand. Find the original in the Philip Masson Ex Libris Collection.
Every Ex Libris purchase supports the McGill Libraries' collections and activities.
