One of our most used and beloved #toolsofthelibrarytrade is the foam book cradle. Here’s a pile of most (but not all) of our book cradles hiding one of our curators. We’re loving this #wednesdaychallenge and thanks to @uflib and @miamioh.spec for putting it on! @iglibraries #bookcradles #bookcradle #librariesofinstagram #ahtl https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bg7iIpUke/?igshid=1k7oywvgcfsjf

The gallery, located on the first floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library, is open during library hours.
