Children have loved Little Golden Books for over 75 years. They have written their names inside each front cover and delighted in the colorful pictures and wonderful stories.
Thanks to the happy hours spent with each book, many children have developed a lifelong love for reading. Launched in 1942, the first full year of America's involvement in the Second World War, Little Golden Books offered high-quality illustrated books available at affordable prices, for the first time to children and their parents.
The exhibit opening is free and open to the public.
This exhibit runs from June 29 to September 7 and is free and open to the public. Groups of 10 or more must book a fee-based program in advance. Join us for exhibit-related programming throughout the summer!
