Every year Seattle University Law Library celebrates National Library Week in a variety of ways. Although faculty, staff and students all seemed to enjoy the activities and offerings presented by the library, by far the most popular event was the unveiling of the law school “celebrity” READ poster exhibit. Modeled after the American Library Association’s (ALA) celebrity READ posters, these posters featured a faculty member or other member of the Seattle University community holding a book which they had chosen as one which held special significance to them. The posters were part of a multi-panel display which also showcased the selected books with excerpts explaining why the book was chosen.
