Could the tri-co libraries get a copy of The whole world was watching : living in the light of Matthew Shepard, by Romaine Patterson? It's a really good book.
Thanks!

Can the library get a DVD copy of the movie Now and Then by Turner home entertainment? Haverford has it but it's a VCR movie.
Thanks!

May I recommend "My Custom Van: And 50 Other Mind-Blowing Essays that Will Blow Your Mind All Over Your Face", a wholesome comedy, by Michael Ian Black? Perfect for Quita's Corner!

Thanks, Jenny! We will purchase a copy for Quita's Corner.

Can the library get Sugargirls and Seamen by Henry Trotter? It's a book about dockside prostitution in Cape Town that I read an excerpt from at a book fair in Cape Town which sounds really interesting!

I'd love it if the library could get a copy of "Uncertain Peril" by Claire Hope Cummings. The book would help expand Bryn Mawr's environmental studies collection, as would "The Soul of Soil" (Joseph Smillie, Grace Gershuny).

Thanks, Anna! We'll be adding these soon.

I would love it if the library would acquire a copy of "Czech Dream" (2004, 2007 USA) a fascinating recent Czech documentary. (Preferably one with English subtitles)

Herbert - Thanks for the suggestion! I've asked our bibliographers to look into purchasing it.

Could you please get a copy of Rushdie's newest book, The Enchantress of Florence? Thanks!
Kate Carter said on August 18, 2008 9:57 AM:[link to this]
Kyle - We actually ordered a copy on 8/5, and we're just waiting for it to get here. You can put a hold on it at the circulation desk if you'd like!

I just came across this intriguing documentary by PBS and Independent Lens. "Please Vote for Me," a look at "democracy" in an elementary school in China, seems like it would be a fascinating DVD for anyone interested democracy or China.

I've spend most of this summer watching Golden Girls- would it be possible to add this to our collection to extend my happiness?
