We've postponed our programs for the next 2 months. But you can still listen to past NL programs, like this talk from @nick_w_estes on the history of Indigenous protest & activism. soundcloud.com/newberrylibra…

This makes me so happy! Listening to @WBEZCuriousCity was one of the first things that made Chicago feel like home (and of course @NewberryLibrary was another one of those things)

I think it's sweet that our definitely-not-sentient postcard bot appears to be as fond of birds as I am.

Replying to @NewberryLibrary
The actual bat wing was used to create an impression in a plate, which was in turn used to make the print. A rather gnarly concept, but a valuable source for researching the history of printing.

Suit up in your best lavender-colored duds and hitch yourself to your chick-driven egg-delivery wagon because--that's right!--it's Easter time again. Celebrate the holiday by sending friends and family a digital postcard with our E-Postcard Sender! bit.ly/2yZPsbJ

DIY book printing found an early practitioner in #William#Blake. Instead of relying on mainstream printers to publish his books, the famously cantankerous #Romantic -era poet and professionally-trained engraver ran the entire process himself. #romanticism #poetry #illustration

When I was 16, I referenced a painting I found online to make an oil pastel drawing for a contest. Now, 9 years later, I find that painting again in our Raphael Tuck & Son's postcard collection, and it has me just as enchanted as it did then. archive.org/details/nby_LL26…
