WTBBL hosting Chinese braille exhibit

Over the past week, we’ve featured some of the rare, historical and interesting items found in our State Library through our monthly Library Jewels blog series. We’re now ready for you to take a final look at the three August entries and then choose your favorite. They include a 1784 chart of the Northwest coast of North America and coast of northeastern Asia, an 1873 photo of a Tacoma family having a picnic, and a 1934 map of Columbia County. You can vote through our online poll below. You have until Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Since many of you are getting ready to vote in the Primary ending next week, here’s a chance to sharpen your voting skills by taking part in the July edition of the State Library Jewels poll. This month’s three candidates are a copy of the book Hop Culture in the United States, a copy of the book American Archives, and the book The Marine Mammals of the North-western Coast of North America, by Charles Melville Scammon. You can select your favorite jewel by going to our online poll (below), which is open until this Friday at 5 p.m.
