Library card catalog

One of a series of library education visuals designed by Peabody Visual Aids in the 1930s and 1940s, which I salvaged from a throw-away pile at my library school in 2003. These posters were created under the supervision of visionary librarian Ruby Ethel Cundiff. bit.ly/qWQ3YD. Many thanks to Gabriel Jaramillo at the Claremont Colleges Digital Library for the high-quality digitization.
