I couldn't resist posting about this. Have you ever seen such adorable books? The books described in this article about a serious collector are: "By definition, miniature books are properly printed and bound, and for the most part no larger than three inches." I think shelving them would present the average shelver with a whole new set of ergonomic challenges.
The National Medal for Museum and Library service has been announced. Libraries in our northern and southern neighboring states are included in the list of honorees. Congrats!
The 2013 Conference page has been updated! Check it out. We have a lot of financial incentives again this year.
We have a miniature in our collection at the State Library (but it's certainly not as tiny as the one in the photo!). Ours is 50 mm tall. It's in a little case which is in a 6 x 9" envelope.
