Did you know that in Thomas Jefferson's day, students were not allowed to check out books from the library without a note from their professors? That's just one of the interesting facts that can be gleaned from the current issue of Libra, the library's magazine, online at the above address. As you might expect from any good public library, past and present articles are all freely available on the site — but you won't receive overdue notices if you leave it up too long on your monitor.
