First Folio - Wauconda Area Library

January | February | March 2016
First Folio
THE BOOK THAT GAVE US
Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, Antony and Cleopatra.
These famous plays and 14 others by William Shakespeare
would very likely have been lost to us without the First Folio.
Published in 1623, the First Folio is the first collected
edition of Shakespeare’s plays, many of which were not
published during his lifetime. Only 233 copies are now
known to exist. In 2016, to mark the 400th anniversary
of Shakespeare’s death, the Folger Shakespeare Library
in Washington, D.C., is sending a First Folio exhibition to
only one institution in each state in the United States.
The Lake County Discovery Museum in Wauconda has
been selected as the only institution in Illinois that will
host First Folio! The Book That Gave Us Shakespeare, a
national traveling exhibition of an original edition of the
First Folio of Shakespeare, one of the world’s most treasured
books. The Folger Shakespeare Library, in partnership
with Cincinnati Museum Center and the American
Library Association, is sponsoring this exhibition of an
original edition of the First Folio in 2016 in all 50 states,
Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. The Lake County
Discovery Museum will host the First Folio! exhibition
February 3-29, 2016.
The Wauconda Area Library is proud to have played a
role in supporting the museum’s efforts to be selected
as the Illinois venue for the First Folio! exhibition. We
are leading an initiative titled #DiscoverWill: Illinois
Libraries Celebrate the First Folio, encouraging public
libraries across the state to host reading programs or
special events that celebrate Shakespeare’s timeless
works which continue to move and inspire us today.
“The museum’s First Folio! exhibition will provide a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wauconda Area
residents – as well as all visitors to the area – to see firsthand the most important book in the history of English
literature and to feel the inspirational power of this book,”
said Tom Kern, Library Director. “We are particularly
excited about the Lake County Discovery Museum’s exhibit
because it will so eloquently convey the importance of the
printed word in this ever-growing world of e-this and e-that.”
The Shakespeare First Folio is one of the most valuable
printed books in the world; a First Folio sold for $6.2
million in 2001 at Christie’s and another one for $5.2
million in 2006 in London. When the First Folio arrives in
Wauconda, its pages will be opened to the most quoted
line from Shakespeare and one of the most quoted lines
in the world, “To be, or not to be” from Hamlet.
For more information about Wauconda Area Library programs celebrating Shakespeare and First Folio!, please
turn to Page 2 of this newsletter, call the library at
847-526-6225, or visit our website at www.wauclib.org.
The most important book in English literature is coming to Wauconda!
