- **Event Description**: Explore 'Pop Bibliography', the representation of rare and historic books across popular culture.

The first place most people encounter rare books is not a library, but through their depictions in pop culture. Pop Bibliography is a theoretical framework to conceive the myriad of ways in which these “old books” appear across popular media, and what that can tell us about book history as a cultural concept. It is a visual manifestation of abstract ideas about the meaning, use, and reception of historic books, which deeply influences how both scholars and the public engage with these objects.

Join Allie Alvis, curator of special collections of the Winterthur Library in Delaware to learn about the many places Pop Bibliography pops up, and why it is so pervasive.
