Summer Update - News from the Library

It’s been a busy summer around the Jean Outland Chrysler Library! The interns and cataloging fellow have been hard at work, helping to keep our collections safe and making them more accessible. Over the last month, 380 items have been cataloged, labeled and made ready for use.  Our new children’s book collection has also been growing by leaps and bounds! The additions to our collection have been made “clear” to staff and patrons in the last week thanks to the addition of a beautiful glass door! We greatly appreciate all of the time and effort that went into its installation.


We’ve had some exciting events, and are preparing for more in the near future! The new CD Music of Quality and Taste: Selections from the Myers Music Collection premiered last month to rave reviews. Also at the end of June, the staff of the JOCL attended the 2010 American Library Association Conference in Washington, DC to see what’s new in the industry. We are all looking forward to the Jean Outland Chrysler Library Open House on Wednesday, July 21 from 4pm – 6pm. The same evening, please join us for the next installment of “Art & Books, Wine & Cheese,” where we will be discussing Nick Hornby’s newest novel Juliet Naked. We hope to see you soon!
