Dear Colleague,

Library of Social Science’s onsite manager, Richard Klein, recently returned from Chicago’s Palmer House hotel, where we organized the book exhibit for the 75th Anniversary meeting of the Rural Sociological Society.

Over 500 scholars, policy-makers and students attended this exciting meeting. Judging from their reaction, our book exhibit was a roaring success. Consisting of over 250 titles from 45 publishers, this was perhaps the most comprehensive collection of titles on Rural Sociology ever assembled at a single location.

LIBRARY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE has developed a unique paradigm for creating book exhibits at scholarly and professional conferences. Working with the major publishers of scholarly books and conference organizers, we bring together a comprehensive collection of titles, enhancing the meeting experience and its intellectual value. With over 600 successful exhibits created for over 150 organizations, we are the leaders in book exhibit management.

We are in the process now of developing our 2013 book exhibit schedule (and have a few remaining openings for the Fall of 2012). For details on how we can create a book exhibit for your organization, please call Hugh Galford at 718-393-1104, or send an email to hgalford@libraryofsocialscience.com.
