JOURNALIST GETS AWARD Recognition for Services to Libraries DENVER, CO: Rita Cosby, Senior Correspondent for FOX News Channel, is not only the recipient of the Headliner Award given annually by The Association for Women in Communications, but also the WLW Award for Journalistic Services to Libraries.
The Headliner Award rewards recent national or international accomplishments, as well as consistent communications excellence. As anchor of FOX News Channels, Rita Cosby continues to out-scoop her seasoned colleagues while covering national and international breaking news stories. As a University of South Carolina honor graduate, Cosby has taught numerous college classes, and in 1998 was presented with USC's Distinguished Alumni Award. Fluent in Spanish and proficient in five other languages, she is listed in "Outstanding People of the 20th Century." She makes regular use of libraries and library services, and to date has never received an overdue notice. Perhaps most significantly, Cosby has continued to refrain from giving any coverage to news reports or stories on librarians not conforming to stereotype ... ...

Although well known, these libraries are little understood by members of the general public who have been staying away in droves.
The tentative program also includes issues such as coping with book theft from people who really should know better, improving the image of law librarians, and how to take legal action to recover overdue fines from members of the legal profession. A major focus of the conference will be on addressing the quality of law collections. Acting conference convener, Elderberry Mapple-Smythe, went on record as stating that whilst the content was appropriate, topical, and highly relevant, the books lacked popular appeal. Just look at them dull covers, unimaginative layout, almost no illustrations. And its just not the resources. Law libraries are not 'happening places'. We want to bring in bean bags, put some Winnie-the-Pooh reading posters up, have coloring competitions. Specialists will be brought in to conduct workshops on starting Reading Time activities in law libraries . ...

However, what sets this library apart from any other is the fact that it was built on-time, and within-budget.
Although city planners were not originally happy with the concept of the town's community undertaking the construction themselves, the final decision came down to a financial one. By using donated materials, the city also made further savings. Local mayor, Steve Shackleton, stated after the official opening that 'its an eyesore, and it should be torn down, but given our current fiscal position, it was this or nothing'. Over the next few months, the local community hopes to gather enough materials to build some bookshelves, which will be stocked with donated books from around the country. On the drawing board for next year are plans to engage a librarian whose salary falls within the municipal budget .... ...

"Man's right to know, to learn, to inquire, to make bona fide errors, to investigate human emotions must, by all means, be safe, if the word FREEDOM should ever be more than an empty political slogan." So spoke Wilhelm Reich, right before the U.S. government burned all of his books and papers, destroyed his orgone accumulators, and threw him in prison in 1957, where he died on November 3, 1957. Sure, he was a little weird. And many believe that he was basically a sicko with a big vocabulary. But hey, who amongst us is perfect? And he did write a lot of books ... ...
