Dear librarian friends,<br><br>This a blog post I wrote inspired by the generosity of many of you as we build the new Josephy Library in Joseph. Thank you all for support and stimulation. For the profession you have chosen--or that chose you--and for your individual generosity.<br>
<br>And please come and see us. The Wallowas are grand, and we are very proud of this new library addition. Links below to the blog--which i have been writing for a couple of years, and to the web site for the new Josephy Center for Arts and Culture, our new home.<br>
<br>thanks again,<br>rich wandschneider<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%">On libraries

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%">On
Friday I picked up two boxes from the Post Office for the Josephy
Library—bookends sent me by a Portland law firm library that is remodeling and
no longer needs them. The bookends were advertised on a listserv sponsored by
the Oregon State Library—I now get regular notices of meetings, grants, and
questions and answers about libraries and librarianship. <span> </span>And occasionally something like this—notice of
70 metal bookends (worth $300-$400) for donation to another library in need.
When I replied, librarian Julie said she’d pack them up and send immediately—and
consider the shipping costs a donation.</span></p>
