April is many wonderful things, including National Poetry Month (more about that later), but also National Library Week. Our Governor Culver has seen fit to recognize the week ahead through a formal proclamation. You can view it at:

But, for you who prefer not to follow links, here are a couple of interesting details noted in the proclamation:
Iowa has 543 public libraries, 79 academic libraries, "more than'" 1,400 school libraries, and 63 special libraries. Iowans made 18,744,559 up 41% from 1999 and 2/3rds of Iowa's citizens have an active library card.
Celebrate next week by making a visit to your local public or academic (or school or special) library, and enjoy the helpful library professionals and services you will find there.

The Rooster goes to Wolf Hall
And the voting is in--really! The judging is a fun (and thoughtful!) read and a nail biter to boot--check out the championship round at the Morning News Tournament of Books. And that is all until next year.
