GODORT Librarian We Have Lost

  • 1.  GODORT Librarian We Have Lost

    Posted 6 hours ago

    Greetings all,

    I was contacted by Kathleen McCook, a member of the Library History Round Table committee working on the "Librarians We Have Lost" project. This is a memorial site for those we would like to remember in anticipation of ALA's 150th anniversary. She was wondering if there are any members of GODORT who would like to write memorials for past members such as James Bennett Childs, Lois Mills, Margaret Lane, or W. David Rozkuszka. She stated that she has some notes about them, but thought that maybe someone in GODORT might have more they'd like to contribute. 

    They have a form you can submit https://lhrt.news/librarians-we-have-lost-sesquicentennial-memories-1976-2026-2/
    Or you could write to Kathleen directly at kmccook@usf.edu
    Feel free to share with anyone you think might like to contribute.
    Best,
    Julia
