Happy President’s Day!
When U.S. Vice President Walter ‘Fitz’ Mondale died in 2021 his family donated the books from his family library to students, faculty, and staff in the Hubert H. Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota (I have a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Election Administration from the Humphrey School). The event was called the Mondale Book Fair.
So I went and these are the books that I selected. I looked for books that were older and books I thought would have a little bit of history to them since they were owned by a former Vice President.
