If you're in the Chicago area and you like children's books, head on over to the Newberry Library for their new exhibit, Artifacts of Childhood: 700 Years of Children's Books:

Artifacts of Childhood features such treasures as: the first illustrated edition of Aesop's Fables (1485); the first edition of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865); a nineteenth-century collectible story, La Fille de L'Exile, that is similar in format to Pokemon cards; and ABCs from 1544 to 1992.

Admission to the library and its exhibits is free. If I were heading to Chicago any time soon, this is something I would not want to miss!
