Iowa Bibliophiles is a group for book lovers and enthusiasts of all kinds. Join us each month as we bring in a guest speaker to talk about some aspect of book collecting, book history, book making, and more. 

On February 10, 2021, Dr. Jennifer Burek Pierce, professor for School of Library and Information Science at the University of Iowa, explored how books for young readers represent interesting and pivotal moments in the history of Anglophone children's literature.

 Links and websites discussed in the talk can be found on the presentation slides: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1end0XkThC56R5S_tihMdhM06a_l-jK-h/view?usp=sharing
