Letter from the Editor

The first lending library in the United States was conceived by Benjamin Franklin as a way to encourage literacy. Today, libraries are the nucleus of culture, learning, exploration and cost savings! As we celebrate Money Smart Week and National Library Week, along with National Autism Awareness Month and National Poetry Month, we can't help wondering what would you do without the library in your life. Please let us know...How has the NSU Alvin Sherman Library changed your life?
