Robert L. and Posy Huebner Collection
Children's Library - Toledo-Lucas County Public Library
The purpose of the Robert L. and Posy Huebner collection is to bring together significant works of original art by illustrators of children’s literature. Established in 2004 through a generous bequest from Mr. Huebner and sustained by Mrs. Huebner, the collection blends their passion for art and their lifelong interest in educating children.
This teaching collection will help children understand that the illustrations in their favorite books began as original drawings, paintings, photographs or other media. Knowledge of the creative process used to make picture books will awaken, inspire and nurture the imagination of children.
