St. Kate's SLA Tour Draws Crowd
Over 30 library students and librarians from across the Twin Cities gathered at the Walker Art Center library on Thursday March 6th for a tour of this very special library.
Rosemary Furtak, Walker Librarian, led the group through an amazing collection focused on modern art. The library even keeps verticle clipping files brimming with information about well-known to emerging artists, including obscure ephemera not readily found elsewhere. The group got to experience the Walker archives and hear about the wide range of images that are kept to document that museum's happenings -- including photos of every exhibit that the Walker has ever produced. The tour concluded with the chance to look at - and in some cases, play with - an array of art books that Rosemary had assembled for the tour. These unique artist-created works were a joy to see and touch (after donning appropriate archives gloves, of course!).
Thanks to all who participated. The St. Kate's SLA Student Group looks forward to planning further tours beginning next fall. If you have an idea of a special library you've always wanted to see, please contact us at StKateSLA@gmail.com
