Our luncheon speaker has changed since Ed Redmond was not able to attend the Special Libraries Association (SLA) Annual Conference.  Evan Thornberry, Reference and Geospatial Librarian, Norman B. Leventhal Map Center, Boston Public Library, will now speak at our luncheon.  His talk will be “The Norman Leventhal Map Center:  Twelve Years of Highlighting the Map Collection at America’s Oldest Public Library.”  In addition to talking about the their history, he will share plans for the future, and discuss their role in the world of map libraries today.  He will be introduced by Alice C. Hudson, retired chief of the Map Division, New York Public Library.  Alice sits on the Advisory Board for The Norman Leventhal Map Center.

 

We also have a location for our “Map Libraries Celebrate 75 Years,”  Convention Center Room 201-A. 

 

Almost every state has responded to our call for official highway maps to celebrate our 75^th Anniversary.  We will have complete sets available at our luncheon and extra copies at the session.  I have a few free passes to the session and parking for $10.00 for 12 hours, if you attend the luncheon ($35.00).  The luncheon check should be made out to me and mailed to:
