Family Man Librarian

The latest issue of Beneath the Bell Tower, my library’s online newsletter, was made available in December but I neglected to mention it here ’til now. Of particular note is that this issue features a completely new and more professional design thanks to Ashley, one of the student web developers who worked for me (she graduated in December). There is a feature article on books that Taylor faculty deem influential, as well as an article on the recent visit to campus by John Stott, renowned Bible expositor, lecturer, minister, and (for those Americans who are eternally interested in “royalty”) longtime chaplain to the Queen of England. There was a recent New York Times article about him, an op-ed piece by David Brooks (registration required to view). Another article is about the interesting things held in our very own Archives & Special Collections, including a cow creamer collection that will be featured in an upcoming episode of Unwrapped, a favorite TV show of ours on The Food Network (it’ll air on Feb. 21 at 9p EDT).
