Bookish Pics: Retro Library Posters

RETRO POSTER - Read More - Know More


What a treasure trove of vintage art! These are from Enokson on Flickr who says she found them "while digging through old library stuff" at the school where she works.

It gets me a little emotional, being a child of the sixties, to see these old posters. My generation did have to go to the library to get information or to read stories. We were pre-Internet, and we've always thought of ourselves as the "TV Generation." But in retrospect, as ebooks and other literary forms take over, maybe we were actually the last Library Generation.
