Movable Books @ the Lilly Library, Univ. of Indiana, Bloomington (August 12, 2019)
While attending the Miniature Book Society’s Conclave XXXVIII, I took the opportunity to visit the Lilly Library on the campus of the University of Indiana. I had made arrangements beforehand to select items from their movable book catalog. The librarians were most generous. I ran out of time before I could go through my whole list, but here is a selection of images from that visit. Any questions, contact The Popuplady.
