When I came across this article: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/revealed-book-size-ladybug-135122227.html to an article about the University of Iowa’s collection of miniature books, I agreed the tiny books were adorable, but did you know we have our own miniature book collection in the Oklahoma Room of the Downtown Library? These little books were probably donated to the France Room when it opened with the “new” Downtown Library in 1954. Although unrelated to Oklahoma history, these little jewels are among many odd items to be found tucked away in an acid-free archive box in the Oklahoma Room.
