Aviation History Collection at the Seattle Public Library

Visiting the Seattle Public Library this afternoon I accidentally stumbled upon a room dedicated to aviation! I've been to the central branch a few times, even stood in the exact same spot waiting for the elevator, and somehow missed an entire room of historical aviation books and magazines. It's directly across from the elevator on the 7th floor. I did not have much time to go through it throughly today, but I did find one text from 1909 and many old charts. It's a reference only collection so you can't check out the materials, two rows are even behind plexiglass doors, but it's still a fun trip if you like airplanes, flying, and the smell of really old books.
