The Art Libraries Society of North America has received a commitment from
John Benjamins Publishing & Antiquariat for two additional donations to the

In acknowledgement of his continuing commitment and support, John Benjamins

activities of all members and components of the Society.
To build on John Benjamin's generous donations, a Silent Auction will be
held during the joint ARLIS/NA-VRA Conference at the Hyatt Regency at Union
Station in St. Louis. 50% of the proceeds will go to the ARLIS/NA Conference
Speakers Fund. At the commencement of the Silent Auction (4pm Saturday,

acknowledge and salute John Benjamins Publishing & Antiquariat, for their
generous gifts and continuing support for the Fund.
