We are now officially "live." Our logo is set and we're moving on to next steps.
Also, we now have an email account so you can reach us with questions or comments about the project. Our address is: mnpenandpress@gmail.com
Look for more posts here in the near future. We'll also be working to make ourselves known on other social media sites using the hashtag #mnpenandpress
If you're part of a library--any kind of library--in Minnesota, please consider being a part of this project. If you're not in a position to make that kind of decision, please refer us to those who can.
We're hoping to involve public, school, special, academic, and other libraries and archives from around the state in showing off our "best stuff" and raising awareness of the rich book and manuscript collections in Minnesota. We'd love to get county historical societies, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions involved as well. And, if you know any book or manuscript collectors, please let them know about our project. We'd like to get them all involved!
Our first big public "splash" will be at the Minnesota Library Association annual conference in October. In the meantime, we'll be working on a toolkit that will give you all the basics, the nuts and bolts, for getting involved in the project. We should have the toolkit ready in the early Fall.
Thanks for following our blog! Some posts in the near future will include ideas about items we're considering to exhibit from our own collections. Stay tuned!
