The University of Kentucky
Libraries Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) presents an exhibition of
intriguing new acquisitions to the Richardson Pop-up book collection.
This
free exhibition is currently open to the public in the Great Hall on the second
floor of the Margaret I. King Library Building and will be available for viewing
through Friday, October 14.
Pop-up
books from popular TV shows, movies and book series including "The Walking
Dead," "Harry Potter," "Game of Thrones" and
"Transformers" are on display. Other books showcase pop-up versions
of new classics in children’s literature and bedtime stories, as well as old
favorites such as Dr. Seuss’ "The Lorax" and "Aesop’s
Fables." Several selections highlight construction and architecture,
including a building crane to complement the real things commonly seen on UK’s
campus.
The
Richardson Pop-up Book Collection currently features over 500 pop-up books
donated to the SCRC by Kathleen Richardson since 2013.
The
SCRC at the King Library is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
For
