Now here's a woman who knew what she was talking about. Philanthropist
and NYPL trustee Brooke Astor died last week at age 105. For her 100th
birthday luncheon, when she was asked whom she wanted as guests, she
replied without hesitation: "One hundred librarians."
Just a nice little bit of good PR for us. This incident was included in
a NY Times article from yesterday.
