Dear Roxana (and all): I like this idea of an EPS library. Once you have what you have organized, I wonder if you might compile and distribute a list. Then perhaps others of us might contribute volumes to your collection, once we know what you do and do not have? All best, cp ******************************** Catherine E.

I suppose the thirty books are poetry volumes and criticism - give me some time to organise shelf space and I will gladly take over what you have. The library idea came to me as I found myself suddenly at the center of this information and communication hub. I realised in time that this was what I wanted to create within the society. The meaning, or the goal of my presidency if you will. I just hope that I don't end up talking to myself. If people do not spring into action somehow, I will just remain a naive idealist, nothing more!
