Presenter Bios: 

Sarah Tew is the Curator of the Harold & Mary Jean Hanson Rare Book Collection. Her favorite part of being the Rare Books Curator is learning firsthand about all the different forms recorded knowledge can take and exploring how technology shapes information and how we share it. 

Fiona Hartley-Kroeger is the Curator of the Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s Literature. She loves exploring the rich variety of form and content in literature for young readers and putting the past in conversation with the present.
