Visiting the Princeton Area Library

On my day of being shown around some of the ECRL libraries, it was great to see so many library people doing all kinds of interesting things in the different branches! The Princeton branch was like all others, in that there were a lot of patrons there using materials and some very exciting visual displays of library materials and artwork. They are also in a very beautiful building, with windows everywhere and a beautiful view of the Rum River. The prairie style interior and decor really emphasized the natural setting around the library. The result is just lovely!

When you walk in the front door, it is totally natural to look up in admiration for this art installation. These round paintings by Minnesota artist  Amy Sabrina, to commemorate different aspects of the life of Elmer L. Anderson, the 30th Governor of Minnesota. The visual biography is very striking, and again shows how visual representations of information can be so useful in conveying ideas to people. Libraries are here to share information in a way that is meaningful to the patron; visual tools are one strategy for this!

Princeton University Library Releases WWI Pamphlet Collection Online

LightbulbIn a post from September 9th, the Princeton University Library announced that they made their Western European Theater Political Pamphlet Collection available online.  The pamphlets in the collection were published in Europe during and shortly after World War I.  Some of the topics they cover are the economy, territorial disputes, the press, and the military.  The pamphlets were written in English, German, French, Italian, Russian, and other languages, and many sides of the war are represented.  Now you can catch another little glimpse into US history.
