It also reminded me to let you know we’ve started sending out emails called “Collection Selections” highlighting articles we think might be of interest to our membership as well as new publications which have been added to our collection. If you’re interested in getting added to that list, please feel free to email me: shart@insurancelibrary.org
I also wanted to mention that this week is a big week at the library. Remember last year when we mentioned Don Malecki and Greg Deimling coming to Boston to do a couple of seminars? Well they’re back!
