| Notes | The Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair.
"The [American Library Association] exhibit is located in the southeast corner of the Coliseum. Two circular areas covering 9, 000 square feet allow visitors to move freely between the exhibit's two main sections. The first section contains a Univac computer. Visitors can see how it expands and simplifies the learning process by submitting questions to a librarian, who finds the answers with Univac. Information stored in the computer includes quotations from great books, gazetteer information and bibliographical material. The second circular section of the exhibit contains a 40-seat theater, employing multiple projection techniques to show on microfilm the recorded knowledge of the past." (Century 21 Exposition. (1962). Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 35)
