A Note from the Executive Director

[http://neo-rls.org/photos/50177_03042019090623.jpg]Over the past week I was vacationing in England and enjoying not only the many sights but also, continuously commented upon, unprecedented lovely weather.  Because I am a total library nerd, I of course, had to visit a couple of libraries interspersed between cathedrals, museums, beautiful scenery and loads of excellent scones!  In the U.S. we are so lucky to have a history of strong public and academic libraries.  The U.K. is equally lucky in its library traditions.  First up for me was the Bodleian Library at Oxford, dating back to the 14 th century and with a continuous history of use beginning in 1602 when it was opened by Sir Thomas Bodley.  According to our tour guide, Bodley saw the original library when he was 14 years old, after the small collection of about 300 unique manuscripts had been decimated by purges of both Protestant and Catholic manuscripts, depending upon whom was in power at the time.  Bodley vowed to support the redevelopment of the library and declared that it should be a public library.  Today, anyone is able to apply for a reader’s card and may use the over 13 million printed items and 80,000+ e-journals including a large variety of rare books and manuscripts.  While we were there, the Bodleian’s original reading room was filled with students and researchers working in the time-honored tradition of silence.  My other library visit was to the John Rylands Library in Manchester which was founded by a woman, Enriqueta Rylands, in memory of her husband.  The beautiful gothic building was begun in 1889 and opened to the public on January 1, 1900.  It functioned as a public library until 1972 when it became part of the University of Manchester and now holds the Special Collections of the University of Manchester Library.  It is part of the third largest academic library in the U.K. with over 250,000 printed volumes and over one million manuscripts and archival items.  Here, students equipped with headphones, laptops and water bottles spread everywhere, were busy at work among the tourists gaping at the magnificently carved ceiling of the reading room.  Thanks to the passion and foresight of two individuals, all are able to enjoy these beautiful buildings and access the many carefully collected and preserved materials.
