Letter from the Editor

What do you geek?

The word "geek," long associated with pocket protectors and coke-bottled glasses, has become fashionable. Famous geeks such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg are cultural icons. Asking "what do you geek?" is a way to illustrate the fact that everyone is passionate about something- everyone "geeks something"- and their library supports them all. Beginning this September, the Alvin Sherman Library is launching a public awareness campaign encouraging you to talk about what you "geek". We hope it engages and inspires you to spread the word about the value of libraries.

We will be  closed on Monday, September 3, 2012
