Librarians, where art thou?

I think I complained about this a year ago, but when your library hosts a local author reading for the local bookstore from a book about your institution, you'd think at least a couple staff people would show up. There's plenty of people that hang out late for various reasons--you'd think a local author would be one of them.

But no, once again I was the only one. And I didn't wear my little tag this time.

Folks don't know what they're missing. Lotte Streisinger has written what sounds like a really nice book about the history of one of UO's most important research endeavors. Not only am I going to read it, I'm going to buy it. (and not just for the collection.)
