Throwback Thursday

Watch this space to visit scenes and relics of the Alexandria Library of Yesteryear.

Back in the day periodical articles were searchable on microform (microphotographic reproductions that needed to be viewed in a special enlarger.  See above).

Before the NOVA Nighthawk.  Before ACEPrint.  Before NOVACard.  Before FASTprint.  These were NOVA's Library Cards.
