...where we have a great exhibit, "Outside Oz: The Other Works of L. Frank Baum" on display in the 5th floor gallery (open M-F 8-5). The exhibit complements the International Wizard of Oz Club’s Annual Convention, "Recreating Oz," hosted by K-State's Program in Children's Literature, October 2-4.
"Outside Oz" features selections from our Richard L.D. and Margaret J. Morse Department of Special Collections written by Wizard of Oz author, L. Frank Baum, that are not set in Oz. Based on the fact that K-State Libraries has at least 332 items in our collection authored by Baum (admittedly, some are the same title, different edition), that's what we in the library biz call "A goodly number." According to the fabulous literature database, Literature Online, Baum authored 74 books.
Our exhibit is free and runs through December 31st. Also, tomorrow night there is a lecture that is free and open to the public: Eric Shanower and Skottie Young, creators of the new Marvel Comic Wizard of Oz series. Speaking Oct. 3rd, 7:30 pm. Alumni Center Ballroom.
