On a sillier note,
my alma mater is, quite plainly, amazing. As part of the College's ongoing austerity efforts, LITS has elected to forgo the purchase of any new books until we finish reading the ones we already have.
Director of Collection Development Kathleen Norton says that if everyone chips in and reads one book a week, we should get through our unread inventory in time for her to purchase required texts for Fall 2010.
If you're having trouble finding an unread book, Library Director Gail Scanlon has this advice: "Look for the dusty ones with unbroken bindings. Start on Miles-Smith level three, and work your way up from there."
That's right, the library put up an April Fool's post. God, I love my school.
