Thus, indirectly, and without any clear sense of the nature of his task, in making the city man has remade himself.” Robert E. Park, “The City as Social Laboratory”1 “An urban renewal program is the moment of truth in the life of any city or neighborhood. This is the moment when determinations have to be made as to goals and objectives, as to the future character of development and change over at least the ensuing quarter century. It is also the moment when assets and liabilities have to be cast up, when what is wrong and what is right has to be defined.” Julian H. Levi, Executive Director, South East Chicago Commission, Commencement Address to the John Marshall Law School, 19612 1 Emphasis mine, Robert E.

Ruth Lednicer, CPL director of marketing, contacted American Libraries November 29 “to let you know how happy we are to report that the Chicago city council’s 2011 budget leaves Chicago Public Library’s funding with no change from 2010.”... American Libraries news, Nov. 30 Booking to the future Jamie E. Helgren writes: “In response to a hot-button issue in the library profession nationwide, the Library Research Service, a unit of the Colorado State Library, conducted a survey to check current library professionals’ predictions for the future of the paper book. It’s probably no surprise that respondents thought the trend would be toward electronic formats. But for a variety of reasons, paper books refuse to die a quiet death. Overall, almost two out of three (63%) respondents claimed that paper books would never disappear.”... American Libraries feature Chicago vies with Hawaii for Obama presidential library Competition appears to be growing between universities hoping to become the site of Barack Obama’s presidential library. A working group at the University of Hawaii’s main campus in Honolulu is considering whether or not the university should make a formal bid.

President Schapiro’s March 10th email, suggesting that gatherings on and off campus should be cancelled, came only the day before our March dinner. We therefore decided to let members make their own decision whether or not to attend. But as the university extended its Spring break and decided to start Spring Quarter with online courses, and as restaurants were instructed to close and gatherings of more than 10 people are considered unwise, we had no choice but to cancel the April 1st lunch. However, our speaker, NEO President Michal Ginsburg, speaking at NEO's March dinner Professor Daniel Immerwahr of the History Department, has agreed to give his talk remotely, using Northwestern’s Zoom conferencing service.
