The exhibit of Irish children’s books is now in the Rare Books Room, and will be there until mid-December.  A number of classes have already visited and had tours of the exhibit.

Artwork by Sara Weber uses Rosamond Praeger’s Further Doings of Three Bold Babes for the poster image and also for background.

Researching for this exhibit was helped considerably by the assistance of Rebecca Rossi, who worked as an intern during the summer.

Diane Sikorski and Liz Dube provided all the conservation and exhibit-mounting support.  We are lucky to have an excellent conservation lab at the Hesburgh Libraries.

In addition to the Exhibit Committee at the Department of Rare Books, the Hesburgh Libraries’ new Director of Communications and Marketing, Tara O’Leary, is helping to make our exhibits much more visible to the campus community.
