Grant
Exciting news!
The library has been awarded a grant to develop the Theatre/Dance collection as it related to war and peace. So, for the next year, in addition to the theatre and dance books that I would be adding to our collection anyway, I will also be working on developing this collection. I plan to have separate entries in this blog for those new items as they come in. If you happen to have any good potential titles, please let me know! (mchonechase@niu.edu)
