The BCC Centennial Traveling Exhibition

Pressing Forward:
The Book Club of California at 100

This Centennial exhibition tells the story of the past one hundred years of The Book Club through the Club’s exquisitely designed and beautifully produced books, keepsakes, and ephemera. The exhibition was coordinated by BCC member Mary Manning, with the assistance of BCC member John McBride and BCC member and Club Librarian Barbara Land. It opened at Santa Clara University in January, 2012, and continues to travel throughout California and the west. Please see below for the traveling exhibition schedule.
