Rare, historic atlas wins Library Jewels tourney!

January 04, 2016

Our super high-tech tourney bracket shows the path to victory for the atlas.

The secret to winning the Library Jewels tourney? Be old. Be very old. Just as it done in earlier rounds of the tourney, the State Library’s rare, nearly 500-year-old atlas scored a dominating win in the championship game, attracting 69 percent of the votes, while the Dr. Seuss World War II booklet on malaria managed 31 percent. In all four of its tourney wins, the atlas received at least 60 percent of the votes. A big thank-you to everyone who voted in our online polls throughout the month-long Library tourney, as well as the Archives Treasures tourney held in November and early December.
