FEATURED WEB SITE 

   This week's featured web page is "Poems on Libraries and 
   Books: A Librarian's Mini-Anthology" by Roth Publishing. 

      http://www.rothpoem.com/minianth.html 

   Included are the full text of the following poems: 

      "My Books" by Francis Bennoch 
      "The Library" by John Greenleaf Whittier 
      "In the Library" by Clinton Scollard 
      "In the Library" by Anne C. L. Botta 
      "Too Many Books" by Robert Leighton 
      "A Nook and a Book" by William Freeland 
      "The Art of Book-Keeping" by Laman Blanchard 

   The Blanchard poem is a bibliophile's lament about 
   books borrowed, but never returned.  Here's an 
   excerpt from Anne Botta's poem: 

      "In the Library" 
       By Anne C. L. Botta 

       Speak low - tread softly through these halls; 
       Here genius lives enshrined, - 
       Here reign, in silent majesty, 
       The monarchs of the mind. 

       A mighty spirit-host, they come 
       From every age and clime; 
       Above the buried wrecks of years 
       They breast the tide of time. 

       And in their presence-chamber here 
       They hold their regal state, 
       And round them throng a noble train, 
       The gifted and the great.
