We are delighted to announce a new special exhibit for Theological Libraries Month.
Ted Winter, our rare books cataloger, has assembled a wonderful display of 19th century Sunday School books for children. (There are only three research-level collections of this material in the US, and we have one of them.)
He has also written excellent interpretive materials explaining the aims and uses of these lovely little books … each little book represents some aspect of the uses he writes about. You'll learn about the history of Christian education, methods of teaching the Christian faith, and directing moral development & spiritual life for children in the Victorian age. For more information about the Sunday School movement and the role of Presbyterian publishing in it, please see our Library NewsPage.
In the flat glass display case near the Circ Desk, there are some charming examples of faith-oriented periodicals for families from the same era, encouraging the teaching of children at home.
Don't miss this unique CE-related display. Be sure to make a little time to see it!
