Start planning now to attend the Friends of the Library annual Book Sale Preview. This is a chance for Friends to get a look at the many wonderful books the University Library is offering for sale. The Preview is open to FOL members ONLY. This year's preview will be October 25 from 4 - 7 p.m. Mark your calendars!
Professor Suzanne Keen gave a very entertaining talk on May 5, 2007 about libraries she has met and loved. We are in the process of creating a copy of her talk for Friends of the Library members. If you recall the beautiful "book" commemorative piece of Roger Mudd's talk, it was the first in a shelf of books Members will enjoy. Professor Keen's talk will be #2 in the matched set. Just another benefit of membership!
The Friends of the Library of W&L are pleased and proud to let you know the talk given by Roger Mudd ’50 during Homecoming 2006 has been reprinted in the May issue of American Libraries. If you missed his wonderful reminiscences about how he began his outstanding collection of twentieth century southern novels, which he has now donated to The University Library, please check it out at Leyburn Library or at your local library. The article is on page 46.
It truly was a heartwarming talk for any lover of books and libraries!
