This came from a link in Mattern’s (2014) article “Library of Infrastructure”. I thought I’d share it because the title of my blog (which was also the title of the blog I authored for the Friends of the Pleasant Hill Library for 5 years that went the way of the pandemic to make room for the Friends’ commerce site) is a nod to it.

I love this! It’s so cheery and hopeful. Advertising is such a fascinating time capsule. I used to pore over the reproduction Sears dress catalogs from the 1920s and 30s.
@juliemcpherson So fun!
