"The Nanny Diaries," by former nannies Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, has been at the top of best-seller lists since the book's release in March. An initial run of 25,000 copies has exploded to over 550,000, with more editions planned. From CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/books/05/22/nanny.diaries.ap/index.html Don't miss reading this bestseller.  It's perfect for the summer. You can place your own reserve for a copy on the SWAN Database.  Just choose the request button and fill out the form.  The Library calls when your reserve is ready.   3:10:03 PM     Just an interesting movie fact: The Force Was Cataloged by Us. Jedi Archive "While researching, Guy uncovered a little fact I thought might be interesting. It might give you a little insight as to where the inspiration for the Jedi Archive design came from, if true. As it turns out, the Jedi Archive/Library is an almost exact replica of one of the finest libraries in the world - The Old Library of Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland." [Cinemascape, via LISNews.com] Too bad the depiction of the librarian wasn't more accurate.
