Palm Readers

Nearly 200 miniature books are preserved in the Rauner Special Collections Library, which librarians have been showcasing on Instagram. The books fit easily into the palm of your hand— some are as tiny as a fingerprint and accompanied by a tiny magnifying glass. They include a Koran, the Gettysburg Address, and a volume of toasts, proving that big treasures can come in small packages.
