Transitions

In September, the State Library launched a completely revised homepage. The Library's previous website and its use were carefully reviewed and evaluated by the WebPage Committee, leading to the decision to reorder the page to reflect the way users approach the Library's information and services, rather than the hierarchical order previously used. Tell us what you think! Send your comments, reactions, and suggestions to Lynne Newell.

In Memoriam

Roger Godfrey, longtime groundskeeper for the State Library/Supreme Court Building, passed away this fall. Roger's care and devotion to the grounds resulted in beautiful flower beds and immaculately trimmed and maintained trees, shrubs, and lawns. At one appropriations committee hearing during a budget crisis, a legislator suggested that perhaps the Library could reduce the size of its grounds crew to save money. They were all amazed to hear that the magnificent grounds were the work of one man. Roger and his work will live on in the memory of the State Library staff for a long time to come.
