Leyburn Librarian is World Famous
As you will read in the next FOLios, our own Laura Turner, Technical Services librarian, was instrumental in reacquiring a 145 years-missing volume from the Washington College library. And it became the news story of the week! Laura was inundated with calls for interviews from television, radio, and print sources, including the Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, CBC, local CBS and NBC affiliates, NPR, and the BBC, to name just a few. Here is a link to her NPR interview: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103183519. Check your local papers for the AP story under the title "Washington and Lee University Gets Book Back After 145 Years". No fine was levied.
To read more, go to the library's posting about the long-lost book in the Library News column in our Web site:http://library.wlu.edu/
The book will be on display at our May 2 meeting, 3 p.m. in Northen Auditorium of Leyburn Library.
