Treasures from the archives

Kay Dick amassed an impressive personal library. It includes first editions dedicated to her by writer friends and gifts from Kathleen Farrell, her partner of 22 years. Kay often annotated books as she was reading, underlining key sentences and filling margins with comments and exclamation marks. She clipped newspaper reviews and obituaries, and kept these in the relevant books. She frequently “bookmarked” her reading with postcards and invitations.
