Under the stewardship of the Literary and Library Committee, the library seeks to be all-inclusive by offering a variety of opportunities to student groups and volunteers to participate in building a stronger literary community at Hart House and maintaining a relevant and special collection of literature to reflect the library's evolving interests. Hart House library is a reading and browsing library, whose unique contribution to the university experience and to Canada's literacy culture has been attested by generations of students, including many of Canada's promising writers and leaders. The library's physical character is consistent with its cultural and historical character. This requires that, first, the library be maintained as readers space, not a study space, and second, that a conservation-oriented approach be taken to physical change. Currently, there are five ongoing projects which include the maintenance of our blog, organizing the display cabinet, evaluating our rare book collection, an Eco book drive and weeding. Project contributions are voluntary and volunteers are welcome to contact each other to develop new and exciting initiatives for future projects! We would like to take this opportunity to share with visitors details about our past and current initiatives and address challenges and successes with regard to running this unique special library! *About Stories About Storytellers:* Look for stories about Hugh MacLennan, Morley Callaghan, Robertson Davies, James Houston, Pierre Trudeau, Mavis Gallant, and Others. This show, now in Preview, will be traveling the country before Doug's book, "Stories About Storytellers" hits shelves in October of this year. Doug performs author caricatures of those authors he has published over a long and fascinating career as a Canadian publisher with McClelland and Stewart.
