  • The Children's Books of Nancy Willard
    The Children’s Books of Nancy Willard page 1 Cover Photograph by Eric Lindbloom page 2 2 Inside Cover An Exhibition Vassar College Library 2017 ˙ 3 page 3 Checklist # 16 4 page 4 Preface For many years Nancy Willard (1936-2017) was one of Vassar’s most colorful and beloved faculty members. She could often be seen riding her bike across campus, and always took time to talk with others. Willard taught in the English Department, and in her classes she encouraged students to develop their imaginative skills and tell their own stories. She was also a major writer who published many works and won a number of literary awards. Her output was wide-ranging, and included poetry, novels, short stories, and scholarly articles. In addition, Willard was especially well-known for her stories for children. This fall’s library exhibition, The Children’s Books of Nancy Willard, therefore focuses on one remarkable aspect of the author’s writing life. Forty books are on display here, dating over a period of several decades. Many of the books were collaborations with important artists. Perhaps the most acclaimed title is A Visit to William Blake’s Inn, which won the John Newbery Medal in 1982. As a group these titles represent Willard’s amazing creativity and substantial contributions to the field of children’s literature. The exhibition takes place during the same year as the 90th anniversary of Vassar’s Wimpfheimer Nursery School. Throughout its long history, the school has offered a child- centered environment and a developmentally appropriate curriculum on Vassar’s campus.

  • The Caldecott Medal and Honor Books, 1938-Present
    The Caldecott Medal and Honor Books, 1938-Present This award is named in honor of Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886), the English illustrator whose pictures still delight children. In 1937, Frederic G. Melcher, the American editor and publisher who had conceived the idea of the Newbery Medal some years earlier, proposed the establishment of a similar award for picture books, and since 1938 the Caldecott Medal has been awarded annually by an awards committee of the American Library Association’s Children’s Services Division to the illustrator of the most distinguished picture book for children published in the United States during the preceding year. The award is limited to residents or citizens of the United States. In cases where only one name is given, the book was written and illustrated by the same person.

  • Engle Collection Folder 2
    the ruth e. engle memorial collection of children’s book illustratioN the ruth e. engle memorial collection of children’s book illustratioN The Ruth E. Engle Memorial Collection of Children’s Book Illustration celebrates the art we first met as children, and recalls our enchantment with the magical pairing of story and picture. Libraries have traditionally collected and displayed art and illustration, particularly the latter because of its affinity to literature. With the installation of these original artworks, Murray Library embraces that tradition. In addition to benefiting Messiah’s students, especially education and art majors, the Ruth E. Engle Memorial Collection is certain to delight all Library patrons and visitors to the campus and is expected to become a regional attraction. Ruth E. Engle (1935–2003) Child of God, daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, educator, entrepreneur, psychologist, consultant. In addition to this sampling of the diverse roles that defined Ruth Engle’s life, she was a friend to libraries, particularly Murray Library at Messiah University. Both a charter and board member of Friends of Murray Library, Ruth contributed vision and vitality to the organization from its founding in 1993. Further evidence of Ruth’s dedication and support of Friends mission was her selection of the group as a recipient for memorial contributions. The Ruth E. Engle Memorial Collection of Children’s Book Illustration honors her abiding love for children, books, and libraries. It is but one legacy she leaves to Murray Library and to Messiah University. From its beginning in 1993, Friends has promoted the mission of Murray Library with a variety of purchases, projects, and programs.
