The
club will start its 118th year on January 14, 2014, with Rachel D’Agostino,
who will speak on a recent Library Company exhibition she curated, a meeting
rescheduled from December 10: “Carrying the Message: What the Paper Bag Can
Teach Us about Technological Innovation, Visual Culture, and the Rise of
Consumerism.” We will resume our planned
meetings on February 11 with local archivist Holly Mengel speaking on
Philadelphia’s hidden collections, followed by a program at the University of
Pennsylvania conducted by David McKnight, in conjunction with an exhibit on the
Beatles. On April 8 we will hold our
annual (and popular!) “members’ meeting,” to which members bring notable books
from their own collections. Our
2013-2014 programs will close on May 13 with Philobiblon member Mehdi El Hajoui
speaking on collecting works related to the Situationist movement.

Philobiblon Club welcomes visiting FABS members to its meetings. Contact club secretary Mark Darby:
