Drop-in Activity
Hosted by UCLA Library and UCLA Writing Programs
Take a break from screens and try analog writing! Drop in anytime to try typewriters from across the decades, from classic manuals to electric models. Bring your own to show off, write with or get advice on care and repairs.
Enjoy a short demonstration and maintenance tips at the top of each hour. Throughout the afternoon, poets-on-demand will compose original poems typed on the spot—yours to take home as a one-of-a-kind memento. Join us to discover—or rediscover—the ingenious invention that revolutionized writing.
