CARLI News
Fourteen years ago terrorists crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and changed all of our lives. We don't greet friends at the airport gate, we don't toss toenail clippers into our carry-ons. Those of us who were over 21 at the time feel different kinds of anxiety when the topic of GTMO comes up, depending on our politics. We witnessed the death of irony and its rebirth into something that's the faintest bit softer. Today's post showcases two student editorials reporting on the September 11 attacks. Both were published on September 14, 2001.

Elms (1931)
“A library is but the soul’s burial-ground. It is the land of the shadows.”

I <3 {heart} ephemera! Objects that aren’t intended or expected to survive over the course of time, and yet do, hold a certain allure.

CARLI Budget Reduction Beginning July 1, 2015
While there is no final information available about the state budget at this time, CARLI was directed to model a 20% permanent budget reduction in operating expenses beginning July 1, 2015. CARLI is committed to protecting Governing member access to EBSCO Academic Search Complete, and I-Share. Rather than make cuts to our most critical programs, we are instead limiting initial reductions to current programs and services that will have a less severe effect on the patrons of member libraries in FY16.
