Please join us on a behind the scenes & public area tour of the Indiana State Library. Suzanne Walker will be taking us on this journey, Paula Newcom will be behind the camera and Courtney Brown will host and monitor the chat. This will be in real time and you will have the opportunity to ask questions of library staff as we walk through the different divisions. We will begin the journey at the public entrance on West Ohio Street. These are the places we will visit: Circulation; Indiana Historical Bureau; Genealogy; and Indiana Education Center. Next, we well walk up the Grand Staircase that leads to the beautiful Great Hall; History Reference Room; Author’s Room; Young Reader’s Center; Browsing Room & Manuscripts; Indiana Division and Reference; and Newspaper Room. We’ll go behind the scenes to the stacks Cataloging division; Preservation Lab; and finish in the Administration office. Other ISL services will be highlighted in webinars this year: the new Imagination Library initiative (February 14) and the Talking Books & Braille Library (February 28) and will be eventually linked on our Archived Webinars webpage.
