Transcript:Sv: I Östermalm Centralbibliotek, där golven knarrar och bokhyllorna når mot taket, började våren väcka allt till liv.En: At Östermalm Centralbibliotek, where the floors creak and the bookshelves reach toward the ceiling, spring began to awaken everything to life.Sv: Solens strålar trängde igenom de höga fönstren och gav biblioteket ett gyllene sken.En: Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, giving the library a golden glow.Sv: Elias gick mellan hyllorna med en känsla av äventyr i hjärtat.En: Elias walked between the shelves with a sense of adventure in his heart.Sv: Han drömde om att bli detektiv, men just nu var han bibliotekarieassistent.En: He dreamed of becoming a detective, but for now, he was a library assistant.Sv: En dag, när Elias gick till arkivet,

Gyllene Gryningen," was missing from its place.Sv: Den var en värdefull skatt, nästan obetalbar.En: It was a valuable treasure, nearly priceless.Sv: Paniken började växa inom Elias, men hans beslutsamhet segrade.En: Panic began to grow within Elias, but his determination prevailed.Sv: Han skulle lösa detta mysterium själv, utan att rapportera det direkt.En: He would solve this mystery himself, without reporting it directly.Sv: Kanske kunde han äntligen visa Astrid, bibliotekarien, sin dolda talang.En: Perhaps he could finally show Astrid, the librarian, his hidden talent.Sv: Astrid

book and their stories.Sv: Astrid tittade upp från disken när Elias gick förbi.En: Astrid looked up from the desk as Elias walked by.Sv: "Något fel, Elias?"En: "Something wrong, Elias?"Sv: frågade hon med ett svagt leende.En: she asked with a slight smile.Sv: Elias skakade på huvudet, för besluten skulle vara hans egen.En: Elias shook his head, for the decision would be his own.Sv: En regelbunden besökare vid biblioteket var Johan, en entusiast för sällsynta böcker.En: A regular visitor to the library was Johan, an enthusiast for rare books.Sv: Han kom ofta för att studera och ibland lånade han böcker, alltid med stor noggrannhet.En: He often came to study and sometimes borrowed books, always with great care.Sv: Elias misstänkte en koppling, men utan bevis kunde han inte konfrontera Johan.En: Elias suspected a connection, but without evidence, he could not confront Johan.Sv: På kvällen återvände Elias till arkivet.En: In the evening, Elias returned to the archives.Sv: Han började leta efter ledtrådar och upptäckte en liten, gulnad lapp inskjuten i hyllan där boken hade stått.En: He began to search for clues and discovered a small, yellowed note inserted in the shelf where the book had stood.Sv: "Johan," stod det, "boken är redo för samlaren."En: "Johan," it read, "the book is ready for the collector."Sv: Elias hjärta skuttade till.En: Elias' heart skipped a beat.Sv: Här fanns vikten av bevisen han behövde.En: Here was the weight of the evidence he needed.Sv: Nästa dag väntade Elias tålmodigt på Johan.En: The next day, Elias waited patiently for Johan.Sv: Han gick fram när Johan just skulle lämna biblioteket.En: He approached when Johan was just about to leave the library.Sv: "Vi måste prata," sa Elias bestämt.En: "We need to talk," said Elias firmly.Sv: Tillsammans med Astrid, konfronterade de Johan.En: Together with Astrid, they confronted Johan.Sv: Under Elias granskande blick erkände Johan.En: Under Elias' scrutinizing gaze, Johan confessed.Sv: Han hade planerat att stjäla boken för en privat samlare men behövde tid innan han kunde genomföra planen.En: He had planned to steal the book for a private collector but needed time before he could execute the plan.Sv: Astrid hade sina misstankar, men Elias hade gett henne den saknade pusselbiten.En: Astrid had her suspicions, but Elias had provided her with the missing piece of the puzzle.Sv: "Bra gjort, Elias," sa Astrid med beundran i rösten.En: "Well done, Elias," said Astrid with admiration in her voice.Sv: Elias kände en våg av stolthet och en nyfunnen styrka i sina detektivfärdigheter.En: Elias felt a wave of pride and a newfound strength in his detective skills.Sv: Våren på biblioteket blev ännu ljusare.En: Spring at the library became even brighter.Sv: Med Elias färdighet och Astrids respekt hade Elias funnit sin roll, inte bara som en bibliotekarieassistent, utan kanske som en framtida detektiv.En: With Elias' skill and Astrid's respect, Elias had found his role, not just as a library assistant, but perhaps as a future detective.Sv: Och genom doften av böcker kände han en ny början.En: And through the scent of books, he felt a new beginning.

Building on the field of modern archival practice, Transmediation and the Archive: Decoding Objects in the Digital Age (ARC Humanities Press, 2024) explores the possibilities of archival objects. Investigating material as diverse as early modern printed books, death masks, a spirit photograph, and a manuscript choir book, Astrid J. Smith interrogates not only what the objects are now, but also asks what they were before taking material form, and what they can become as their format is transferred to other media. Blending insights from museum, library, archives, and media studies with experiential research, Smith examines the activities that shape the making of heritage objects and asks how an awareness of digitization practices can inform our knowledge of both their digital and physical form. She proposes a new methodological framework for evaluating the way materiality and media can affect our relationship with historical artefacts and book culture and demonstrates its fascinating application. Astrid J. Smith is Rare Book and Special Collections Digitization Specialist and a Production Coordinator at Stanford Libraries, focusing on medieval objects and fragile archival materials. A life-long creative, she is especially interested in book arts and the philosophy of digitization. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom (2022) and The Social Movement Archive (2021), and co-editor of Armed By Design: Posters and Publications of Cuba's Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (2025).

This week we're heading to Chicago to spend some time with Suzanne Karr Schmidt (PhD Yale) at The Newberry Library. Suzanne is their Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts, she also researches for and creates exhibits, and helps lost books find their way back home. So, if you need a break from the holiday busyness curl up with a steaming mug, close your eyes and imagine a magical world where curiosity can be both inspired and sated, there is a portal that reaches back 5,000 years and contemplates the future, and most importantly has 27.5 miles of bookshelves. Fika will take you there, on this 100th episode. About the Newberry Library - Our collections, programs, and exhibitions are a portal to more than six centuries of human history, from the 15th century to the present. The Newberry welcomes anyone who is eager to learn about who we are, where we came from, and where we are going. Our community of learning includes historians, genealogists, visual and performing artists, writers, graphic designers, teachers, students, and many, many others. A Brief History of the Newberry Walter L. Newberry, a businessman and civic leader in Chicago who died in 1868, left a provision in his will calling for the creation of a “free public library.” Newberry was light on details. He couldn't predict how the library might best serve Chicago by the time it opened. As a result, Newberry staff shaped the institution around the needs of the city. To complement the Chicago Public Library, which had been established in 1872, the trustees decided to found a non-circulating reference library that would be free and open to the public. Before the Newberry opened in 1887, it had no collection to offer visitors. Walter Newberry's own book collection, which might have served as a foundation for the library, had been destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. And so the Newberry's first librarians grew the library's collection from the ground up. Today, the Newberry collection extends across 27.5 miles of shelving in the library stacks. And it's still growing. We acquire and preserve materials that represent a range of perspectives and experiences—including those that historically have been marginalized, misrepresented, or silenced.

Before artisans knew of their danger, toxic materials like lead, arsenic, and mercury were used in the creation of illuminated manuscripts. A new exhibit at the Walters Art Museum titled, "If Books Could Kill" spotlights the hidden dangers of these artifacts and describes the scientific methods used to identify toxic materials. We speak with Lynley Anne Herbert, the Robert and Nancy Hall Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts, and conservation scientist Annette S. Ortiz Miranda. "If Books Could Kill" opens December 18, 2024 and runs through August 5, 2025. Image: “Archangel Michael Battling Devils,” 2nd quarter 15th century. Parchment With Ink, paint and gold.

In this episode, Persuasion and Prejudice: a recording, taken from this year's Rare Books Melbourne, of a lecture from Professor Gary Cazalet on Jane Austen and Lawyering. Perhaps a sign of broader changes to come, technology and artificial intelligence are replacing much of the traditional work of lawyers. Thus, the role of lawyers is rapidly changing. The uniquely human skills of empathy, emotional intelligence, creativity, and self-knowledge will become more important in the practice of law. Gary Cazalet has made the development of these skills a central part of his teaching in law and literature. In this lecture, he explores how reading Jane Austen can help law students and practitioners be better and happier lawyers.

This person is definitely not a student here," Minho said cautiously.Ko: 은지는 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Eunji nodded.Ko: 그들은 사람들 사이를 헤쳐 그 사람을 찾기로 했다.En: They decided to make their way through the crowd to find this person.Ko: 드디어, 한쪽 구석에서 그 의심가는 인물이 발견되었다.En: Finally, that suspicious figure was spotted in a corner.Ko: 은지와 민호는 그를 둘러싸고, 조심스럽게 사실을 말했다.En: Eunji and Minho surrounded them and spoke carefully about the matter.Ko: "그 책, 우리에게 돌려주세요," 은지가 용감하게 말했다.En: "Please return the book to us," Eunji said bravely.Ko: 가면을 벗은 사람은 은지와 민호를 바라보다가 마침내 고개를 숙이며 책을 내밀었다.En: The person removed the mask and looked at Eunji and Minho, then finally lowered their head and handed over the book.Ko: "나는 이 책을 수집하게 되면 좋겠다고 생각했다," 그가 말했다.En: "I thought it would be nice to collect this book," he said.Ko: 그들은 책을 다시 가져오게 되었고, 다음 날 도서관은 성황리에 개장했다.En: They managed to retrieve the book and the next day, the library opened successfully.Ko: 은지는 단호하게 문제를 해결한 자신이 자랑스러웠고, 민호에게 더욱 감사했다.En: Eunji was proud of having solved the problem decisively and was even more thankful to Minho.Ko: 한편, 그녀와 민호 사이에 오가는 눈빛은 어제와 조금 달랐다.En: Meanwhile, the exchange of glances between her and Minho felt a bit different than the day before.Ko: "감사해, 민호," 은지가 웃으며 말했다.En: "Thank you, Minho," Eunji said with a smile.Ko: "네 덕분에 힘낼 수 있었어."En: "I couldn't have done it without you."Ko: 민호는 얼굴을 붉히며 웃었다.En: Minho blushed and smiled.Ko: 두 사람은 도서관 문 밖으로 나가며, 더 깊어진 마음을 느꼈다.En: The two of them walked out of the library, feeling their bond deepen.Ko: 가을의 바람이 두 사람을 감싸며 주변을 맴돌았다.En: The autumn breeze wrapped around them and swirled around the surroundings.

You may recognize today's guest as the rare book specialist, dealer, and collector from the hit show Pawn Stars, Rebecca Romney. Rebecca got started in the world of rare books quite haphazardly when she applied for a managerial position at age 23 for a rare book retailer, and you can pretty much guess what happens next. Rebecca is one of the most respected dealers in the rare book space with her company Type Punch Matrix, and she is the co-founder of the Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize. She's sold and handled some of the rarest books in the world, like Shakespeare Folios and first editions of Newton's Principia Mathematica. We dispel the myths of how books should be handled and chat about the diligent and detailed process of buying and cataloging entire libraries. In such a subjective space, Rebecca has not only made a name for herself, but as a trusted source in the industry who is willing to always point clients in the right direction. So please enjoy, this is Rebecca Romney, for Collectors Gene Radio.Type Punch Matrix - https://www.typepunchmatrix.com/Rebecca's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rebecca.romney/Honey & Wax Prize - https://www.honeyandwaxbooks.com/prize.php
The cold, austere exterior of the Greek temple-like building is a contrast to the warm, sunny interior of this private library that dates back to 1836. For this week's Artscape, Morning Edition host Luis Hernandez gets a tour of the Athenaeum's rare collections of art, books and a few oddities.
Many saw the dark side of the American dream, but none wrote about it like Jim Tully. Having spent six years of his childhood in a Cincinnati orphanage, Tully returned to his hometown of St. Marys, Ohio before climbing aboard a freight train in 1901. Drifting across the country as a "road kid," he spent his teens, sleeping in hobo jungles, avoiding railroad cops, and haunting public libraries. After six years on the road, he settled in Kent, Ohio where he boxed professionally and began to write. Following a move to Hollywood where he worked for Charlie Chaplin, Tully issued a stream of critically acclaimed books that serve as a dark and astonishing chronicle of the American underclass. Having established himself as a major American author, he turned his attention to Hollywood writing dozens of articles about the movies, often shocking the Hollywood establishment. Along the way, he picked up such close friends as W. C. Fields, Jack Dempsey, H. L. Mencken, and Frank Capra. He also memorably crossed paths with Jack London, George Bernard Shaw, James Joyce, and Langston Hughes. My guests are Mark Dawidziak and Paul Bauer, authors of "Jim Tully: American Writer, Irish Rover, Hollywood Brawler". They not only share details from Tully's wild life, but talk about two infamous Hollywood murders that he was connected to.

You might recognize today's guest from the ever popular show Antiques Roadshow. Nicholas Lowry isn't just the vintage poster appraisal for the hit show, he's also the President, Principal Auctioneer, and Director of Vintage Posters at Swann Auction Galleries and for all intents and purposes, he's a collector. Nicho grew up around collectors, and his family still runs one of the oldest books shops in New York to this day. After a stint in Prague, he found himself falling in love with vintage Czech posters and the rest is history. Vintage posters is a new category to Collectors Gene Radio so I really had a lot of questions to understand the market better. Unlike most collectibles, there isn't really a modern version of the category today, making these vintage posters even more rare as time goes on. Lowry is a collector of many things, but with a busy schedule, I was curious to find out how in the world he has time to collect anything. Full of life, stories, and knowledge, please enjoy, this is Nicholas Lowry, for Collectors Gene Radio.Swann Auction Galleries - https://www.swanngalleries.com/Poster Museum New York - https://posterhouse.org/Nicho's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nicholowry/?hl=enAntiques Roadshow - https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/Homeworthy Tour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb0-iL4YlqAIVPDA - https://www.ivpda.com/Nicho's Book - https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-City-World-Travel-Posters-ebook/dp/B0CVQ6YZRK?ref_=ast_author_mpb
Welcome to Episode 207. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to talk with rare book dealer and author Rebecca Romney. Her first book was PRINTER'S ERROR: Irreverent Stories from Book History, and she made a significant contribution to the world of romance fiction with her collection, THE ROMANCE NOVEL IN ENGLISH: A Rare Book Survey, 1769-1999. You won't want to miss our conversation with Rebecca at the end of the episode. Jane Austen fans will be particularly intrigued to hear about her current project! We have had some genuinely delightful Biblio Adventures since the last episode. Two were joint jaunts: seeing Caroline Leavitt discuss her new novel, DAYS OF WONDER, at R.J. Julia Booksellers in Madison, CT, and watching SHIRLEY, a trippy movie about a fictionalized Shirley Jackson based on the novel of the same name by Susan Scarf Merrell. Emily and Aunt Ellen visited Yu and Me Books in NYC's Chinatown. We also each attended different virtual events through the North Haven Public Library. Chris attended “A Literary Examination of Power and Art” with Xochitl Gonzalez, discussing her books ANITA DE MONTE LAUGHS LAST and OLGA DIES DREAMING.

"The thrill of the hunt is what fuels all collecting probably and it's certainly so for book collecting. But here the interest is bibliographical so there's a scholarly component to it as well. It's a very thrilling experience to see that you are a part of a long tradition of book collecting and of a tradition of transactions between dealers and collectors that's been going on for three or four centuries." - Pradeep Sebastian, author, An Inky Parade; Tales for Bibliophiles, talks to Manjula Narayan about his passion for collecting antiquarian books, the passions that drive the international trade, and the great collectors and their obsessions

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for June 30th Friday Publish Date: June 29th Thursday Commercial: Henssler :15 From the Henssler Financial Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast Today is Friday June 30th and happy 56th birthday to boxer Mike Tyson ***Tyson*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Engineered Solutions of Georgia 1. Scorching temps forecasted in Cobb starting today 2. The Cobb tax digest growth is the largest in 21 years 3. And the Cobb GOP will appoint Debbie Fisher to elections board Plus All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Commercial : ESOG STORY 1 hot Cobb County may face a heat advisory as temperatures are expected to rise into the upper 90s. Metro Atlanta is anticipating its highest temperatures of the year starting today, with the heat potentially lasting through the weekend and into early next week. The National Weather Service is monitoring the situation to determine if a heat advisory will be issued for Cobb County and other metro areas. The heat index, which combines relative humidity with air temperature to represent how it feels to the human body, is a major concern. The NWS will issue a heat advisory if the heat indices exceed 105 degrees. Rainfall could provide some relief, but if not, there will be uncomfortable heat indices, posing a risk to those outdoors or without access to air conditioning. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade or indoors, wear light clothing, and check vehicles for children or pets left inside. There is a possibility of intense thunderstorms in north Georgia, but forecasters have low confidence in this prediction..........……... Read more about this at mdjonline.com Story 2: digest The total taxable value of residential, commercial, and personal property in Cobb County, experienced a significant increase of 15.7% last year, driven by rising home prices. This growth marks the steepest increase in 21 years and follows a 12.3% increase the previous year. The higher property values mean increased tax revenue for Cobb County, its cities, school districts, and community improvement districts. While rising assessments may lead to higher tax bills for property owners, many jurisdictions in Cobb do not plan to raise their millage rates. However, exceptions include the city of Mableton, Cobb County School District, and the city of Marietta, which have implemented slight increases or reductions in millage rates. Homeowners can appeal their assessments if they believe there was an error, and this year has seen a record number of appeals filed. Despite high home values and a decrease in the number of houses being sold, the demand for homes remains strong, while inventory remains low in the Atlanta market. Story 3: gop Debbie Fisher, a former vice chair of grassroots for the Cobb County Republican Party, will be sworn in as the party's appointee to the Cobb Board of Elections. She replaces Pat Gartland, whose term is ending. Fisher's appointment is based on her extensive knowledge of the elections process and her dedication to transparent and bipartisan elections. Although Fisher will be outnumbered on the five-member elections board, the focus is on ensuring honest and fair elections. Fisher's position will allow her to have a stronger voice in addressing issues from previous elections and providing valuable insights. Fisher has previously filed an ethics complaint against east Cobb Commissioner Jerica Richardson.......….we'll be right back Break: Dayco - CUofGA - Glover STORY 4: highland Highland Rivers Behavioral Health is relocating its youth outpatient services and the Bright Changes youth resiliency clubhouse from its County Services Parkway facility to its South Cobb Drive facility in Smyrna.

New entrances have been created for the youth services, providing direct access from the parking area. Families of youth receiving services at the current clinic have been informed about the relocation. Highland Rivers plans to hold an open house for the new facility later this summer. STORY 5: walker Five seniors from Walker School recently completed a four-week internship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta. The internships are part of the school's Guided Scientific Research program, specifically the Public Health Concentration. The program begins with an elective class on Immunology and concludes with a semester focused on guided scientific research, which is later published or presented at the Georgia Junior Science and Humanities Symposium. During the CDC internship, students are paired with a scientist and engage in meaningful work, culminating in a presentation about their findings. Walker's Head of School, Carl Carlson, commended the students for their impressive presentations and acknowledged the guidance provided by Emily Adams, the mentor and Walker Science Department Chair. Story 6: peaches The U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared 18 Georgia counties as natural disaster areas due to damage caused by freezes in March, impacting the state's peach crop and other commodities. This declaration enables the USDA's Farm Service Agency to provide emergency credit to farmers in Georgia. The state's Commissioner of Agriculture, Tyler Harper, expressed gratitude for the relief measures, emphasizing the significance of Georgia's agricultural industry. In addition to the 18 counties directly listed in the declaration, farmers in 38 contiguous counties are also eligible for assistance. The USDA loans can be utilized for various recovery needs, such as replacing equipment or livestock, reorganizing operations, or refinancing loans. The deadline to apply for assistance is February 26 of the following year. …………we're back, in a moment Break Elon – Ingle's 9- Drake Story 7: town center Town Center Community recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the completion of educational and historical enhancements at Aviation Park.

The annual tournament, held in memory of former Lassiter and Auburn player Philip Lutzenkirchen, took place at Lassiter High School.

Stepping foot into the Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is like taking in a deep, calming breath. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the shopkeepers couldn't be friendlier or more knowledgeable. And even though the shop itself is on the smaller side, it's packed to the brim with books from every genre you can think of including children's books, fantasy, art & architecture, urban planning, cookbooks - and even some rare & vintage finds for collectors. It's truly something you can't miss on your next visit. In this episode, Monica and Steve chat with Hills & Hamlets owner Josh Niesse about getting started in the bookselling business, opening a second location here in Serenbe, and why bookshops are a great ‘indicator species' for the health of a community.

This week, we revisit one of the most important Supreme Court cases you've probably never heard of: Baker v. Carr, a redistricting case from the 1960s, which challenged the justices to consider what might happen if they stepped into the world of electoral politics.
