The Vere Harmsworth Library has set up a book display highlighting titles in our collection which relate to US presidential elections.
The US presidential election book display at the VHL.
The book display can be found on the ground floor on the left hand side, near the armchairs and low table. Readers are able, and indeed encouraged, to read and borrow these books as normal, and several of the selected titles are also available electronically through SOLO.
The books chosen for the display cover a range of subjects including voting rights, presidential campaigning, polling, and the workings of the electoral process.
The display also points readers towards online archives of documents relating to historical presidential elections, an election special of the Rothermere American Institute’s podcast, and an upcoming event at the Rothermere American Institute for expert discussion of what happened in the US 2024 elections.
The book display will be changed over in November to a new theme.
