Homework Assignment for WAAL, 2003

This is just a little "heads up" if you are planning to attend WAAL 2003. On Thursday afternoon, there will be a book discussion program sponsored by the WLA Readers Section, this time on historical fiction. The book we'll discuss is Pat Barker's Regeneration. It's not necessary to have read the book to come to the program, but, if you want to, this message is to give you enough time to do so. The highlight of past programs has been folks' sharing of book recommendations, so be thinking of good historical fiction you want your colleagues to try. Happy reading!

Helene Androski, Chair

And, while you're in the neighborhood for the conference...consider the following exhibition:
