I vote to abolish the hierarchy that seems to exist in ARLIS/NA.

Well Allen, as I have recently emailed to another ARLIS correspondent, I am fascinated by the fact that DIVERSITY is the big word in ARLIS these days, but the board must feel that public art librarians are somehow "less than", otherwise we would not have been dissolved, now would we? Sincerely, Jeri Byrne, Fine Arts Reference, Beverly Hills Public Library

Subject: [ARLIS-L] ARLIS/NA and Public
Libraries - Open Forum in New York on April
On Sunday, April 18, 3:30-4:30 PM, during the upcoming Annual Conference, a Public Library Forum has been programmed for the purpose of gathering feedback from the membership on the subject of public librarians and their future role in the Society. Suzy Frechette and other members of the Executive Board will be present to discuss the recent dissolution of the Public Libraries Division, as well as the possibilities for raising the profile of public librarians within the administrative structure of ARLIS/NA. Suzy and I would also welcome online ARLIS-L discussion in advance of the Conference event, for those who will not be able to attend the NYC meeting.
Looking forward to seeing many of you soon!
Best regards,
Allen
