Drop in and peruse rare treasures from Central Library's archives. This month's theme features books, materials, and ephemera related to Expo '74.
Archivist & Special Collections Librarian Dana Bronson and local novelist & Writing Education Specialist Sharma Shields share a passion for libraries, research, and critical archival work. Join them each month as they share exciting and often surprising items from the Central Library's Archives and Special Collections. Highlighted items might include rare books and manuscripts, local records and photographs, ephemera, and/or maps and correspondence.
This month's theme focuses on Expo '74, marking the 50th anniversary of the opening of the world's fair in Spokane, which was officially known as the "International Exposition on the Environment."
