Acknowledgements An exhibition of children's books had long been a goal of Center co-founder Kathleen Burch, who provided much of the inspiration for mounting this show. "Show Me a Story" was conceived by Steve Woodall, with a great deal of help from a committee which included Kathleen Burch, Cathy Miranker, Maribeth Back, and Michael Carabetta. Curatorial The antique and contemporary books were selected and documented by Marie Dern and Linda K. Smith; Marie Dern designed and installed the display. Andrew Baron designed and installed the Knick-Knack Paddywhack! display. Maribeth Back designed and installed the electronic reading devices from The Reading Lab. Support Our very special thanks to the Raymond Family Foundation for their generous support of this exhibition; to Grants for the Arts, San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund; and to Mills College for funding and for providing a second venue (look for a slightly different presentation of this show there in January).
