Libraries hosts a Make-A-Book activity for "Take Your Kids to Work Day"

The Libraries hosted over 20 children and their families at today's Make-A-Book activity in the National Museum of Natural History. Children were able to make books, make their own stickers, and decorate their books with decorative papers, markers, stickers and rubber stamps. The event proved to be very popular with children and their parents!

Presentation for the Boston Library Consortium

   
  Originally uploaded by matt707

I, along with my colleague Chris Freeland of the Missouri Botanical Garden, was invited by the Boston Library Consortium (BLC) to make presentations on how the Biodiversity Heritage Library has created a portal to biodiversity literature from our diverse collections.

Attending the presentation were over 50 staff from BLC institutions (MIT, UMass-Amherst, Brandeis, MBL/WHOI, Boston Public Library, etc.), including Boston Public Library president Bernard Margolis.

We had an enthusiastic group that asked a number of great questions.
