AP Releases New Stylebook and that's no Malarkey.
Here's a link to an article in Editor & Publisher about it. I have to admit that I still use some of the discarded words.

It Was A Dark And Stormy Night
I have found another treasure, at least for me, in the mystery box that contained the newspaper shown in the previous entry. It might be hard to make out--it's a letter signed by none other than Edward George Bulwer-Lytton on December 29, 1840. I'm pretty sure that literature majors would know who he is but for those who are not familiar with this talented man I have also included a web-site that was founded in his memory. Enjoy.

Don't Fear Change, Embrace it!
Well, there have been many changes made in Reeves Memorial Library over the past month. If, when you visit the library and find that things are not where the used to be, ask any of the staff and we can help you out.
Here are some pictures that follow-up those in the previous post and give you some high-lights of the reorganization that we have made.
All of the public PCs at the high tables have been rearranged to be more comfortable for the users.
The current periodicals now occupy the area where the videos, DVDs, and LPs used to be.
The video and DVD collection now occupies the reference area closest to the Holocaust Room.
Our library Aides, Melissa and Kali, exhibit their enthusiasm as they undertake the fun job of reshelving a portion of the reference collection.
Judith Koveleskie and Kelly Addleman pose with the many boxes that are being used to ship periodicals that are no longer needed in our collection.
Additionally, the video/DVD player has been relocated to the Holocaust Room and our LP record collection has been deaccessed.
