July and August Staff Picks: Threads: Our World Through Clothing
Reading Room, Second Floor
"This selection of children’s books captures the complete lifecycle of our clothing. Readers will learn about the creation of materials and garments, how we might wear our clothes and what meaning those choices hold, the joys and challenges of mending, and the beauty of sharing or handing down our wardrobes.
Our exploration of clothing and dress in our Juvenile and Curriculum collections was inspired by the “Wearable Art For a Purpose” exhibit and the Eco Fashion: Sustainability, Ethics, and Education book display which can both be viewed in the Gottesman Libraries Offit Gallery from June 2 - July 28th. In addition to this book display, we encourage you to explore the Offit Gallery (3rd floor Russell Hall) and consider your role in fashion, consumption, and sustainability."
--Anna Leuning, Circulation and User Experience Librarian
