My first paying job was at a public library in the Chicago suburbs in the early 1980s. I was in the eighth grade and I would check books in and out at the circulation desk, and retrieve and shelve them, as well as magazines and other periodicals and media from the stacks and in the archives in the building's basement. To this day, when I find myself a guest in someone's home, I am irrepressibly drawn to the available bookshelves where I try and suss out the owner's taxonomy and interests in search of something I either recognize, want to read (but haven't gotten to, yet) or find intriguing (with bonus points for foreign language material). If the stories we tell ourselves and others (be they true, allegorical, misleading or downright and demonstrably false) are fundamental to the way we organize and understand (or not) our lives - and I happen to believe they are - then THE LIBRARY, as concept, category, and as a centralized repository of stories and other information, must surely represent something akin to the collective and shared personality, memory and experience of, by and for a people. In due recognition of these repositories, keep an eye out on some posts from my colleagues at 221B Partners in the coming days to celebrate and support National Library Week (and the former and current professionals who staff our libraries). We'll be extolling the virtues of the library and the vast array of information researchers can find for free (with a library card). To kick off this series of modest tributes, it seems appropriate to start with our nation's de facto library, the Library of Congress. As investigative research professionals in the consulting marketplace, we pay lots of attention at work to our catalog of database resources and the latest technologies to support our work and supply our clients with information and insight. We remain, however, quick to exploit the available resources from libraries. The Library of Congress' collection spans audio, digital and print media and includes everything from music, manuscripts, books and films, to legislation, web archives, Tweets, photography, early 20th Century Chicago phone books, and old annual reports (DuPont 1910, anyone?), to name but a few for starters. So, do let your fingers wander across the keyboard and check out the Library of Congress. You can find it online at https://www.loc.gov/. And, thank you, librarians!

I just finished my new series as part of my Minnesota State Arts Board Grant. This series is composed of diptychs and triptychs depicting an aspect of nature and includes reflections on the complexities between humans and the wild. The connection between, humans, animals, and wilderness continues is important to me and a dominant theme in my visual art. My work aims to inspire other ways of seeing nature, wildlife, and wilderness. My paintings do not consist of traditional wildlife illustrations but embrace image fragments presenting a new portrayal of the wilderness and nature.Collages can tell a story by incorporating images without being bound by the need to make an illustration. In this series, I included images portraying human occupation within a natural world landscape. The composition and images are ambivalent about whether we are to consider the human occupation an intrusion on wilderness and animal habitats or a viable part of the landscape. While the cultural structures are appealing they still encourage questions about their presence in this environment. Animals seem part of the landscape but others seem disoriented, lost, or even to persevere. Please check out my new Web page karlynatkinsonberg.com
