One Book, One College – Self-guided Tour
ONE COLLEGE ONE BOOK – DAWN AT THE HUNTINGTON LIBRARY
ABOUT YOUR VISIT
Present your PCC faculty or student ID to the cashier at one of the ticket windows to be admitted
to the grounds of the Huntington. Be sure to take a map with you before you start. You may visit
(open from 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturdays and Sundays) any weekend in the month of October to
complete this assignment.
Note that you will be doing a lot of walking, mostly outdoors, so wear comfortable shoes and
bring water. You will need to bring this instruction sheet, pen/pencil, and paper. You may also
want to bring your smartphone or camera to capture images. If you are an artist or want to
draw, sketch, or paint your submissions, bring your supplies with you so you get started. You will
also need a copy of Dawn to complete this assignment. Your admission is good for the entire
day, so freely explore the rest of the gardens and indoor galleries on your visit.
This assignment is designed as a self-guided tour with four parts. There are three required stops
along the tour and one additional question that you can complete using any of the locations on
the grounds, including one of the required stops. Once you have completed stops 2-4 go back to
the beginning and complete stop number 1. Read more about your visit to the Huntington.
STOP 1 - (CHOOSE YOUR OWN) LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
(You will probably want to complete this portion of the assignment at the end.)
