ANA LIBRARY NOTES

The September 1999 issue of The Numismatist contains this note of interest to bibliophiles on page 1067: "ANA Member James Bixler, a certified appraiser and rare book dealer, has prepared a preliminary bibliography of the ANA Library's rare books. To acquaint readers with the richness and variety of the ANA's holdings, this column regularly highlights one of these fine publications."

The month's featured book was donated by J. Roy Pennell, Jr. - "Acts and Laws of His Majesty's Province of the Massachusets-Bay in New England", 1743. Some of the interesting non-numismatic laws include an "Act for the Relief of Idiots and Distracted Persons."

As Librarian Nawana Britenriker noted in her presentation to NBS at the recent ANA convention, bibliophiles can help support the library's efforts by joining FOLIS (Friends of the Library/Libris in Socii). For details, contact Nawana via email at library@money.org.
