Gslisadjuncts Apologies

Dear Colleagues and Students: In case anyone has tried to call me at home in the last 3 days, it seems that somehow I (or some gremlin) had set my phone to "call forwarding" to some number beginning with "201" which resulted, I am told, in a message in a female accented voice telling people I was unavailable. This is not an invitation for a blitz of calls, but it's now turned off and I think I am available again. Mary K. Chelton

Since all of the 777 students have used Connecting Young Adults and Libraries as a text through its many editions, I thought you would enjoy this. Patrick wrote the first edition before bringing co-authors in with him with the idea that he could then hand it over to them, which he did. Mary K.
