The first donated book for this auction. One of the millions of books donated to ALA's World War I Soldiers and Sailors Library program. |
The American Library Association's Library History Round Table Auction 2005 of books, serials, and ephemera related to librarianship, libraries, publishing history, and book culture. Members and friends, we have had in recent years two successful auctions to raise matching funds for the LHRT speaker honorarium. Our next auction is scheduled for the Library History Seminar XI on October 27-30, 2005 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This will give us time to acquire more good books and will assure us a good crowd of potential bidders. Please consider a donation for this important event. David M.
