For those who have early memories of visits to the library, it may come as a surprise to learn that allowing children in libraries is a relatively recent historical development. This exhibit celebrates the libraries and librarians who fought to open libraries to children. View the materials on display to explore the many ways librarians sought to create welcoming spaces containing age-appropriate materials available to children. This exhibit was created by Donna Turner, library Collection Maintenance/Preservation Specialist, for National Library Week and Children’s Book Week. (2nd floor)

Celebrate Children’s Book Week, May 7-13!
Published May 7, 2012 exhibit Leave a CommentTags: children's book week
Beginning in 1919, Children’s Book Week was established to promote children’s literacy as well as quality children’s books, supported by librarians, booksellers, and publishers. Every year young and old come together to engage in storytelling, author and illustrator visits, and events at schools, libraries, and bookstores across the country. For more information on events and the history of this celebration of children’s literacy, check out Book Week Online.
To celebrate this year’s Children’s Book Week (May 7-13) we’ll be featuring some of our favorite faculty and staff recommendations. Usually we feature a physical display, but this year we’re going to take a look back at some previous faculty and staff memories of their favorite books from when they were children. So keep an eye out this week as we’ll have two featured each day!
