My Favorite Things (a la<\/em> Special Collections) by Hannah Hacker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the past two and a half years, I have had the honor to work as a graduate assistant at the University of Iowa Special Collections. I am thrilled about graduating from my Library Science and Book Arts program this semester, and I am excited to see what adventures I\u2019ll embark on next, but I will certainly miss my Special Collections family. I am thankful for the friends I have met here and the opportunities that I was given. I\u2019m not the best at waxing emotional, so, instead, I will leave you all with my own little rendition of a classic, \u201cMy Favorite Things\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archival boxes
And sketches of spaceships
Bright crimson wax on some very aged papers
Gray Wonder boxes high on the shelves
These are a few of my favorite things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cream-colored parchment and crisp comic pages
Dress swords and old maps
And Medieval doodles
Really small books with tiny wood-prints
These are a few of my favorite things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kids in the classroom with handwritten letters
Red rot that stays on my shirts and nice sweaters
Staple-bound fanzines and pulp magazines
These are a few of my favorite things<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the day\u2019s long
When the class is done
When I\u2019m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Hannah for the hard work, laughs, and pure librarian magic that you brought Special Collections!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
