Cut-Paper Calendar? We missed our paper anniversary! This will be the fourth year in a row I bring you curious and unusual gifts from @NewberryLibrary. This time I'm looking at paper cutting, collage, and more! #AdventCalendar2023 Day 1/24 For last year: https://t.co/N4f1fVHRnh

IT'S MY Party... And I'll Stay (in this gloriously gilded dunghill*) If I Want To?

*By Dunghill, I probably mean piles of books, so if you have any birthday requests, lmk and I'll go looking for them!

Pop-Up Propaganda?

USSR-printed book in Czech from 1982 normalizing socialism among cuddly animals who are just SO much happier living together after a big bear destroys their separate homes. Aren't they?

Sky's the Limit!

I'll be starting as the (volunteer) director of the Movable Book Society in October, so I'm also premiering a new weekly series,
#MovableMonday!

The first one's a German 1909 postcard from the John High collection

Admiring the greenery at #NewberryLibrary... Now did I or did I not wash my hands?

Now Open!
At the Newberry Library through December 30

Come visit us soon for "Seeing Race Before Race," a thoughtful and thought-provoking show about the ways race was depicted before 1800, from golden clockworks to playing cards, paintings to books and manuscripts. #SeeingRB4R #RB4R #AdlerPlanet
