LISNews: Librarian Blog Since 1999

Cuts may add layer of dust to library shelves : Just four years ago, Clearwater demonstrated one more time its long-standing devotion to libraries by opening a new $20.2-million Main Library overlooking Clearwater Harbor. It offers everything a library user could want, and in a beautiful setting.
