HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE LIBRARY! THE DEDICATION BOOKLET OF THE ILAH DUNLAP LITTLE MEMORIAL LIBRARY  1953

On November 19, 1953,  the University's Ilah Dunlap Little Memorial Library was officially opened with speeches, lectures, a dedicatory poem and a special commemorative  booklet.  

As we celebrate 50th birthday of the Little Library and look towards the 2003 opening of the new Student Learning Center, University Archives offers this gallery featuring the booklet, complete with contemporary photographs and prose that recreates some of the excitement of the opening of UGA's state-of-the-art  library.

If everything seems a bit blurry, don't worry about a sudden change in your sight.  
Except for the red typeface of the dedicatory poem by the booklet's designer, Claude Davidson, Jr., text and photographs are printed in an eyesight-challenging light gray on off-white paper.

The original pamphlet can be viewed in the Hargrett Library, University Archives Single Folder Collection UA 03-006
