At the 58th annual Edgar Awards ceremony this April 29, the Mystery Writers of America will honor Bowling Green State University’s Ray and Pat Browne Library for Popular Culture Studies with a Raven Award for “commitment to preserve mystery fiction through a formidable and constantly growing collection of detective mystery novels and manuscripts.””It is very rare that libraries are recognized, so this is a wonderful, significant award,” said Dr. Lorraine Haricombe, BGSU dean of libraries. “It’s an honor that recognizes the commitment, preservation and collection efforts of everyone over the years who has been associated with the library and made it regionally, nationally and even internationally known. We hope the award will inspire more people to seek out the collection.”
In addition to murder mysteries and detective fiction, the Browne collection includes extensive materials related to: popular fiction; performing arts and entertainment; graphic arts and mass communications; sports; travel and recreation; teen culture and counterculture; folklore; wit and humor; science fiction, adventure, and ghost stories.
