Interesting library news

I'm not sure how many people use Facebook or other social networks but I would strongly recommend you do if you would like some interesting library information.
I do belong to Facebook and one of the groups I am a 'Fan' of is ALA. Yes, even the American Library Association has a Facebook page.
I was reading some of the ALA links and come across a great article. It's actually out of the Associated Press but the link came from ALA.
The article is about a Librarian who lived in Los Angeles.
The title of the article is -
Priceless black cultural artifacts to go on exhibit. Late librarian and mom spent her life collecting carefully selected items.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Her family is, and should be, very proud of her!!
