Security Check: Library Exhibit Space

Particularly if you offer space for people to show off their collectibles.

Link to February 1 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, "Worldwide garage sale. Cash-strapped Americans put their stuff online. Eager collectors, many overseas, snap it up."

Excerpt: Part of the reason for the success of selling goods overseas stems from a fascination among Europeans and Asians with certain vintage American goods. Combine that with a relatively weak dollar and you have a robust market.

"Right now, there's a substantial increase in purchasing power," for residents of Europe and Asia, said Joseph Daniels, a Marquette University international economics professor who is a visiting professor this semester at Wake Forest University.
