3:50 p.m., Oct. 6, 2008----The University of Delaware Library Associates is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and, with the University of Delaware Library, is co-sponsoring an exhibition, “Building the Future, Remembering the Past: Fifty Years of the University of Delaware Library Associates,” now on display at the Morris Library.
A talk by well-known bibliophile Nicholas Basbanes, followed by a reception, set for 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 7, in the Reserve Room of the Morris Library, will run in conjunction with the show.
Basbanes, whose talk is titled “Among the Gently Mad,” is the author of A Gentle Madness: Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes and the Eternal Passion for Books, which was a finalist for the National Critics Award in nonfiction for 1995 and was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His Every Book Its Reader: The Power of the Printed Word to Stir the World was described in The Washington Post as the equivalent of "browsing through a rare book store, spending the morning in a public library and visiting your most literate friend--all in the course of a few hours.”
An award-winning investigative reporter, a literary editor and a nationally syndicated columnist, Basbanes has written for several newspapers and journals. Additionally, he writes a bimonthly column “Gently Mad” for Fine Books and Collections magazine.
The University of Delaware Bookstore will offer a selection of books by Basbanes for sale, and he has agreed to sign copies after his lecture.
The event, co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate Committee on Cultural Activities and Public Events, is free and open to the public.
To request a printed invitation, send e-mail to [jhamm@udel.edu] or call the Library Administration Office at (302) 831-2231. Acceptances are welcome, but not necessary, at [libraryrsvp@winsor.lib.udel.edu].
