LIBRARY NOTES
William J. Dean
To Library Members
Wednesday, June 1, 1994
This is, I believe, the first newsletter in the Library's 240-year history. The Library needs a newsletter now because we have much information to share with out, and this is the best way of doing so.
We are expanding the collection and conserving our present books. We are computerizing some of our operations. We are planning a three-year series of lectures and forums on biography writing, and arranging our fifth Author/Member Lecture Series to take place next year. We are conduction a major capital fund drive, organizing an exhibition on the Library's history to be displayed on the second-floor landing, and doing many other things.
Library Notes, the name of our newsletter, will have regular features, such as "Shelf Talk" by Librarian Mark Piel, and "The Wallet" by Barbara Stanton, Development Committee Chair. There will be notes on Library staff, members and trustees, and items form the Library's fascinating history. Lectures and other events will be announced in Library Notes.
We welcome your comments on this first issue of Library Notes and your suggestions for future issues.
