The Zoo

The Grolier 100 is a list of books that collectors like to have.  The list came about as part of an exhibit in 1903 in NYC of course.  The exhibit had 100 books that some peeps deemed important and collectible.  They called the list the Grolier 100.  After that, a guy named Lilly started collecting the Grolier 100.  He collected 99 of them and then donated his collection to IU in the 1950's along with a bunch of other books he had.  The Grolier 100 is on exhibit now and it's a fun exhibit and you may want to check it out if you feel like it.  My fave was Pickwick Papers in their original installments.  If you walk across to the gallery formerly known as SOFA, you can see the Kinsey Juried show.  In between you can sit by Showalter Fountain and enjoy summerness.  First Field Trip of the Summer.  Today we're heading north to the zoo.
