Message from NBS President Tom Harrison

NBS Board Election

This being the first quarter of an odd numbered year, it is again time to call for nominations for NBS officers and board members. If you wish to serve, please send a brief bio and portrait photo via email to Maria Fanning at nbsasylum@gmail.com by May 1st so you can be placed on the ballot to be mailed with the summer issue of The Asylum.

Be sure to check out the most recent NBS podcast, Bibliotalk, produced by Lianna Spurrier, that is now available on the NBS website. This episode is titled Numismatics in American Universities and features enthusiastic numismatic ambassador Kellen Hoard. Kellen shares his collecting interests, discusses numismatic collections in universities, and explores various opportunities that online resources provide to introduce potential new collectors to the hobby.

If you plan to attend this summer's ANA World's Fair of Money, I invite you to consider entering a numismatic literature display. Your efforts will provide an opportunity to display a special volume, bring to light the writings of a favorite author, or showcase a collection of obscure works from your library. Your exhibit will provide conventioneers a chance to experience our fascinating sector of the hobby, and it may even spark their interest in our often overlooked but, as we all know, certainly worthy corner of numismatics.

May your library provide investigation, discovery, and most of all, enjoyment.

Remember, while The E-Sylum is free to all, only paid members of the Numismatic Bibliomania Society receive our print journal, The Asylum. Print/Digital membership is $40 to addresses in the U.S., and $60 elsewhere. A digital-only membership is available for $25 -Editor
