As part of its fascinating Clever Convention series, SLQ’s Curated Collections allows visitors to explore the library’s hidden objects. Attendees to the Tuesday October 8 segment will get a rare opportunity to don the quintessential white gloves, examine books made from fish and microfische, see a cuneform tablet from 2028 BC and read from a steam punk e-reader. The library’s Helen Cole will share her insights into why certain items have been added into the collection, and Rachel Spino will show visitors how those objects are preserved.
