Hi all,
FYI

My wife sent me this link from a Sound Print Program entitled Who needs
Libraries
http://www.soundprint.org/radio/display_show/ID/629/name/Who+needs+libraries

Quite frankly this program speaks to the choir and as such nothing in it
is revolutionary. But it does reinforce truths we see every day,
particularly for those of us at the reference desk. Additionally it
illustrates a possible change within the public discourse about the library.

The Friends of the Van Pelt Library hosted an artists reception on 14 September 2006 to thank and acknowledge the artists whose works have been purchased by the Friends to hang in the renovated library. The brochure from the reception is shown below.
