Recap: In 2022, twenty-four Minnesota libraries joined together in a commitment to retain over a half-million print books which are scarcely-held in Minnesota. It is called the Minnesota Shared Print Collection. Here is one of the stories from the Winona State share of the collection.
In his last years, the late Emeritus Professor Michael Delong (Biology) published his magnum opus, Rivers of North America (2023). (See below.) The Krueger Library, naturally, owns a copy, but it is not on WSU’s retention list. Other books about the conservation of rivers, however, are on the retention list.

Some of the books on the WSU retention list deal with death, and some deal with taxes. Regarding death, a book in the medical section lists some of its causes. In the tax department, WSU owns a forty-volume version of the land survey created after the Norman Conquest called the Domesday Book. This survey facilitated the collection of taxes in eleventh century England. (And, with a name like the Domesday Book, it sounds like it would be about death.)

Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln share a birthday in February. Books by Charles Darwin published in his lifetime are widely held in Minnesota, but a collection of his notebooks from the voyage of the Beagle is on the Krueger Library’s retention list.
