URBANA – The Rare Book and Manuscript Library at the University of Illinois holds such treasures as the papers of Carl Sandburg and H.G. Wells, a collection of 16th and 17th century German emblem books, Audubon folios, collections of John Milton and Marcel Proust, and early editions of Shakespeare.
It also has mold, and the library will close at the end of this month so the books and ventilation system can be thoroughly cleaned.
