EXPERIENCING ART

The exhibition, ``Myth, Magic and Mystery: One Hundred Years of American Children's Book Illustration'' at the Chrysler Museum, is a superb opportunity for young and not-so-young readers to experience the impressive art that is part of American juvenile literature. Talented curators H. Nichols B. Clark and Trinkett Clark assembled this extraordinary exhibition.

The library's Children's Services team worked collaboratively, and pleasurably, with museum staff to offer an exceptional workshop for those working with youngsters in our state. We salute our museum colleagues and remind the public at large that the Chrysler Museum is a treasure deserving of support and that its staff is a significant local resource.
