With the opening of Ebertfest upon us, now seems as good of time as any to browse the University Library’s online exhibit featuring Roger Ebert: his childhood in Urbana, his time as a student at the University of Illinois, and his correspondance with faculty mentor Dan Curley.
If you happen to catch any of Ebertfest this week, be sure to check out the library’s display of Ebert’s original press kits for the films being screened this year.
