This exhibit was curated by Autumn Wetli, Undergraduate Collections Librarian, and Rachel Hoster, Reference Librarian at the University of Michigan Library. This project wouldn't have been possible without the work of, and partnership with, Mariah Cherem, currently Adult Program Coordinator at the Skokie Public Library and one of the project originators in her previous role at the Ann Arbor District Library. Special thanks to Samantha Kreklau, U-M Ask a Librarian Specialist, for her assistance in creating metadata for images in this collection. We would also like to thank Jamie Vander-Broek, Art and Design Librarian at the U-M Library, for her initial support of this project and guidance. Lastly, thank you to U-M Library's Online Exhibits service team for their support during the entire online exhibit creation process.
