Starring in the Library’s first children’s book exhibition are the famous "ducktective" Miss Mallard and other amazing creatures brought to life by writer and illustrator Robert Quackenbush (1929-2021). A beloved member of our Library and one of the founding judges of our Young Writers Awards, Robert instilled in children here and around the world his own deep love of books and reading. Books and archival material from the Quackenbush collection, generously lent by Margery Quackenbush, will introduce visitors to Quackenbush’s delightful world of characters and clues, with insight into his creativity and artistic process.
