“A Novel Experience with the Library: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby”
The Friends of the Library are actively planning for their next
annual fund raiser, “A Novel Experience with the Library: F.
Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby,” to be held on April 25,
2015. It’s hard to believe this is the Friends’ 14th year of
having a benefit, and I know people who have attended every
one. Last year, for the first time ever, the event was held at the
Chancellor’s Residence, not in the Library. We received many
glowing comments about the experience and are once again
trying out a new location. The Friends of the Library are
partnering with the Givens Performing Arts Center (GPAC).
Benefit participants will enjoy themselves first with dinner and
then proceed to GPAC to be entertained by a performance of
The Great Gatsby.
The library fundraiser will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the University Annex next to GPAC. A social period and a
meet-and-greet with the cast of The Great Gatsby will be held. Also, during the social time,
there will be a display of various door prizes which participants will have a chance to win.
This fun time will then be followed by a delicious buffet dinner. During the dinner,
attendees will be treated to comments by Dr. Ryan Anderson, Associate Professor and
Coordinator, American Studies Program of the History Department. He will discuss the
period which The Great Gatsby depicts and what specific clues and issues of the time
period the audience should recognize and appreciate. If you have not met Dr. Anderson,
you are in for a treat. His topic will be “F. Scott Fitzgerald: Flapper King?” His enthusiasm
for his area of expertise is contagious and you will appreciate his knowledge. The program
will then conclude with everyone moving on to GPAC to enjoy the performance of The Great
Gatsby. The Montana Repertory Theatre will bring to the stage a compelling performance of F. Scott
Fitzgerald’s work.
“A Novel Experience with the Library: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby” will be an excellent way to spend
an evening. Your enjoyable experience will help support the Friends of the Library initiatives, such as
continued support for nine scholarships established to assist students at UNCP, funding of materials for the
Library, and sponsorship of author appearances and reading programs. To learn more about the Friends of the
Library, how to apply for FOL scholarships, or to join the Friends of the Library, please call the Mary Livermore
Library at 910.521.6212 or go to the Library’s webpage at www.uncp.edu/academics/library. Library staff
members Chris Bowyer (910.521.6483) or Susan Whitt (910.521.6212) may be contacted for benefit tickets
and more information. Tickets are $50 each. This year, discounted tickets for current, full-time UNCP students
also can be purchased for $20 each. If you have already purchased tickets for the performance through GPAC
and also would like to participate in the Library’s fundraiser, please give us a call. The Library and GPAC are

Message from the Dean of Library Services
Message from the FOL President
Page 2 Library Lines Vol. 24 | Number 1 | March 2015
I always welcome the chance to write the Dean’s letter and provide information to readers of the Library’s newsletter. It allows me to update you on library happenings, events, and opportunities. This time it is with a heavy heart that I write about an event which seriously impacts our library and Friends of the Library organization.
On January 23, 2015, Dr. Anthony Curtis died of cancer after a brief illness. To say we were all shocked is an understatement. Dr. Tony and his wife, Dr. Judy Curtis, have been stalwart members of our Friends of the Library (FOL) since they came to UNC Pembroke in 2002. He served two terms as our president and was currently serving as immediate past president. He has always been a part of every FOL Board meeting and event held by the Friends, and, quite frankly, I cannot imagine any event without his being there. He was instrumental in encouraging
students to be members of the FOL Board, as well as participants in our programs. His ideas and suggestions moved our library and Friends organization forward. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Judy. We want her to know how much we thank them both for the support they have shown our library and Friends.
One other event which I would like to let you know about is the Library’s fundraiser which will be held on April 25, 2015. The Friends are working in coordination with the Givens Performing Arts Center to present one of the best events ever. In fact the last conversation I had with Dr. Tony was about this event and his excitement about trying a new format for the yearly benefit. I urge all friends and supporters of the Library to plan to participate in this annual benefit event. Funds from the event are used to support library activities, primarily the provision of nine scholarships to UNCP students.
As always, I encourage all those campus and community members reading this newsletter to join the Friends organization. Please tell others about us and encourage them to join. Thank you, if you are already a member. Your support is essential to making our Friends organization a success. If you have any questions, please call me at 910.521.6212 or Chris Bowyer at 910.521.6483. Information about the Friends, along with membership forms, can be found at www.uncp.edu/academics/library/friends-library.
The last half of this spring semester will be very busy and productive for the Friends of the Library
(FOL). In early March, FOL sponsored “Speaking Our Words: Recitations of the Works of African-
American Authors and Artists,” which had to be rescheduled due to February’s inclement weather.
Later this month, in a Faculty Showcase, UNCP history professor Dr. Charles Beem will discuss the
book he has edited on male consorts of European queens (The Man behind the Queen: Male
Consorts in History). The annual Poetry/Short Prose Contest, sponsored for our university and our
community, will hopefully brighten up the day of anyone who is downhearted on the income-tax-
deadline day of April 15. Then the Friends will cap off the semester with our fundraiser for this year
by doing something entirely different: “A Novel Experience with the Library: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s
The Great Gatsby,” on Saturday, April 25, in conjunction with the performance of the musical based on Fitzgerald’s
novel at Givens Performing Arts Center. Preceding the play, starting at 6 p.m. in the University Center Annex, there will
be a “meet and greet” opportunity with the actors, a delicious dinner, and a presentation by UNCP history professor, Dr.
Ryan Anderson, on the cultural and historical background of the Roaring 20s that will add extra layers of meaning and
enjoyment to the experience of the play. I hope you’ll be able to attend our fundraiser and some of the other FOL-
sponsored events this spring. Thank you for your continued support of the Friends of the Library.

The 26th
National African American Read-In
On Monday, February 16, 2015, the Mary Livermore Library hosted the annual winter meeting of the Southeastern Innovative Users Group (SIUG), which is comprised of member libraries all using the Innovative Interfaces integrated library systems. This was UNCP’s first year hosting the conference, which despite the bad weather many experienced in the state that week, it was a successful event with about 30 attendees. Everybody was impressed with the University and its facilities. They all felt that the SIUG meeting should be held at UNCP again sometime soon.
The SIUG Annual Meeting was attended by Susan Whitt, Dean of Library Services, and by librarians Carl Danis, Collection Development/Electronic Resources Librarian, and June Power, Access Services/Reference Librarian; all are members of SIUG. June Power additionally serves as webmaster for the group and, as part of the SIUG Governing Board, assisted with the planning of this year’s annual meeting.
Carl Danis and June Power made a presentation on UNCP Library’s recent systems update – “Migrating from Consortially Shared Millennium to Individually Hosted Sierra without a Systems Librarian.”

UNCP Hosts the SIUG Annual Meeting
Discussion by attendees at SIUG
Usually the African American Read-In (AARI) activities are held in February, during Black History Month, as a celebration of African American literacy. Unfortunately, that was not possible this year because of several weeks of inclement weather in February. The events, however, were rescheduled for March. After all, African American
literacy is a year-round goal.
The AARI oral recitations program (“Speaking Our Words” Recitations of The Works of African American Authors and Artists) was held March 9. The program featured members of the local community; UNCP students, faculty, and staff; and other “celebrities” such as Bessie Barnes, Miss UNCP 2015, and Candice Noel Locklear, Miss Lumbee 2014-2015.
The Keynote Address, entitled “The Importance of Literacy in African American Culture,” was presented by Reverend Pia Jessup on Tuesday, March 24. The presentation was accompanied by the “soulful” sounds of UNCP students Tangie Harris, Alexis Jones, Jael Pembrick, and the brothers of the Eta
Beta Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.

National Library Week
The Mary Livermore Library will celebrate National Library Week April 13-17, 2015. National Library Week has been a national observance since 1958, created to promote the contributions of libraries and librarians around the country. Currently the American Library Association sponsors the national campaign. There are two events planned by the Library for the week. First up will be the Library’s Book Sale to benefit the Friends of the Library of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. A portion of the money taken in goes to the Friends to help sponsor its endeavors. The prices will be $1.00 for hardback items and $.50 for paperback items. Any media items in the book sale will be $1.00 and sold “as is.” There will also be some specially-priced and bargain-priced items. These items will include nonfiction, fiction, juvenile, and video materials. In addition, as a special benefit for “Friends,” there will be a 20% discount on all items purchased by FOL members on the first day of the Book Sale (April 13).
On April 15th, the Friends of the Library will host the General Membership meeting. After the meeting, the
winners of the Dean Elinor F. Foster Poetry/Short Prose Contest will read their entries, and the 2015 UNCP
Campus Scholars will be recognized. The event will take place in the main reading room of the Mary
Livermore Library at 3:30 p.m. and a reception will follow.
The campus and community are invited to join in this annual celebration of National Library Week.

She is now waiting to hear if she is going to be awarded another partial or a “full-ride” endowment scholarship from Campbell. Xaphan plans to enroll in the pharmacy program at Campbell University in fall 2015.

I am pleased with
the Library staff.
They are extremely
helpful and eager to
assist you with any
questions you may
have.
The library staff provide exceptional service. They are
prompt when responding to email requests, and always
provide relevant tips and strategies to obtain
information for assignment requests. Their
services are a great complement to the
instruction I've received from UNCP faculty,
and I would not have been as successful as I
was in my graduate program without their
expertise.
As always, I received
fast, accurate research
that met my needs. I am
grateful to have such a
service in my graduate
program.
I think the services are
great! Libraries are not
always this helpful at other
schools and it really makes
it a lot less stressful on the
student. Thank you!
The assistance I
received from the library
was amazing. They did an
awesome job and I am very
grateful to attend a
university where I receive
these type of services.
Excellent staff, always knowledgeable and happy to help.

Spring into the Library My reference assistant was Jerry
McRae. He was very helpful in
finding the full text for a research
article I needed. He found a pdf
copy for me and printed it off! Very helpful! I don't know what I
would do without his assistance.
Jerry helped not only find me
sources on the BraveCat but also showed me how
to work it. Awesome!!
Here is the library staff that assists you with your library experience and what our patrons
think of them….
I would like to give a word of
thanks and encouragement to
library staff-Eric Chavis for
nourishing the beautiful flowers
that improve the air and
environment in the library. When
you are in the library for hours at
the time and do not get to see
the outside or breathe in the fresh outside air, the
flowers he nourishes can really cheer up your spirits. Hats off to you for your hard work
and doing more than what’s required. We need flowers in our daily life, not just at the end
of our life. The beautiful floral display on the next page is also one of Eric’s creations.
Just writing to tell you I enjoyed the "Blind Date with a Book" project. What a great idea! It definitely made my day.
Thank you so much for coming to my class today to provide
library instruction for MCM 4360 Mass Communication
Theory and Research. I especially appreciated, as I
know the students did, the handout you brought as well as
the individual attention you gave to each student. You made the database
searches understandable and the students very comfortable in asking questions. Thanks for the
excellent presentation!
I would like to thank
Robert for helping
me with my
research article
information. He was
very helpful to me
and gave me a
bunch of articles to
read for the research I had to do.
Thanks so much It just worked out
that over the semester I was dealing
mostly with Robert and I can't
describe how much he has helped
me. We even stop and have a
conversation on campus sometimes.
He is excellent and has the quickest
response time anyone could ask for
as a graduate student.
I needed help on short notice
and Michael Alewine really
provided much needed
assistance. I completed my
undergraduate work more than
25 years ago. He really helped
me with new research
techniques and helped me
focus on a topic for an upcoming paper. I really
appreciate the personal assistance he provided
and would recommend his assistance to anyone!
I just finished reading “Library Lines” and a big thanks for
including our camp, Junior
Braves, among your articles!
You all did a great job
presenting to the campers
and they had a wonderful time
visiting the Library.
Thank you again for polite
service and we look forward to working with you
again in the future.
All of the library staff at UNCP
have always been very helpful, kind
and courteous to me. When I need
a book they always try very,
very hard to get me what I need. Sometimes they have to wait on other libraries to get what you
need but that is not their fault. I think they do a
great job and they work very hard.
Mr. David is a great guy, friendly,
helpful and considerate. We can
always appreciate people
(person) like him to help
complete and accomplish great
service from library to
successfully complete the
homework (research)
assignment. With all the books I needed is a great
start and way to start my research paper. Thank
you David and staff at UNCP!
Thank you so very much, Ms. Cummings. This is exactly what
I needed, and I am most appreciative for the time and
effort you devoted to helping me. You've made my day. Thanks for the last batch of photos. You are my angel. I
sincerely appreciate your invaluable assistance in furnishing the photos
that I will use to create a printed invitation to the
Braboy highway marker dedication.

Dr. Anthony Ray “Tony” Curtis: Nurturing Educator, Devoted Campus Leader, and Lover of Libraries
Mary Livermore Library has lost a great friend and supporter with the passing of Dr. Anthony
Ray “Tony” Curtis on January 23, 2015. Dr. Curtis was a tremendous advocate for the Library
and a friend to all—especially students. We continue to hear from current and former students,
faculty, staff, as well as community members far and wide talking about how Dr. Tony touched
their lives.
Wade Allen, UNCP student, stated, “He was my great mentor, my journalism hero, my college
professor, my inspiration, my confidant, and forever buddy. Words cannot express the loyalty of
our profound friendship. He's been right beside me in the good times and in the not-so-good
times. One of the men I admire most no longer walks among us. He was the best. Here's to
you, Sir... I will carry your memory in my heart wherever life takes me.”
According to Dr. David Nickel, Professor and Chair, Department of Philosophy and Religion, and current Friends of the
Library (FOL) Board President, “Tony Curtis provided dedicated and invaluable service to the
Friends of the Library, serving on our Board for many years, including two terms as President.
He also was generous in his financial
support of FOL, with his annual
membership giving and his and Judy’s
bidding on auction items at our
fundraisers. His positive and warm spirit
and his wisdom will be greatly missed in
the on-going work of the Friends of the
Library.”
Robert Arndt, Reference/Instructional
Services Librarian stated, “Tony was
always focused on students and the
Library as being the academic center of their
lives. He would personally encourage students
and faculty to use the Library’s resources and services in new and inventive ways.”
“Dr. Curtis was involved in so many different forms of communication. He singlehandedly
created and maintained UNCP’s presence in Second Life.
When the Library received a significant grant for
technology, he had his students make use of the
dedicated Second Life technology resources as part of
their coursework.
These resources are
still being used today.
He actively promoted
the Library’s virtual
reference desk and
virtual book club that
the library staff created in Second Life. Tony was an innovator
when it came to getting students to think and communicate in creative ways,” said
June Power, Access Services/Reference Librarian.

Dr. Elinor Foster Newberry, retired Dean of Library
Services, said, “When Tony and Judy first came to UNC
Pembroke from Ohio, they visited the Library and let me
know they were dedicated library supporters and they
proved to be as good as their word. Dr. Tony Curtis was
passionate about students and libraries, and he
combined these two great interests in his commitment
to leadership of the Friends of the Library of UNC
Pembroke. He twice served as president of the library
support organization and also served other years as the
faculty representative on the Board of Directors of the
Friends of the Library. He and Dr. Judy Curtis provided
a unique cultural experience for some of the members
of the staff of The Pine Needle by sponsoring a table at
the annual library benefit evenings and sitting with the students, who were dressed in evening attire,
enjoying the exciting events which unfolded.”
Aleigha Shears, UNCP student, stated, “Rest easy, Dr. Tony. I will never forget your undeniable willingness to help.
Much, much love and respect! Aleigha”
Susan Whitt, Dean of Library Services, noted, “Tony was a best friend to the Library, its staff, and all our students. I
cannot even begin to think of any person that could ever replace Dr. Curtis and what he meant to so many people. He
was a fantastic educator and person, and he will be deeply missed by all.”

Dr. Anthony Ray “Tony” Curtis: Nurturing Educator, Devoted Campus Leader, and Lover of Libraries
Mary Livermore Library has lost a great friend and supporter with the passing of Dr. Anthony
Ray “Tony” Curtis on January 23, 2015. Dr. Curtis was a tremendous advocate for the Library
and a friend to all—especially students. We continue to hear from current and former students,
faculty, staff, as well as community members far and wide talking about how Dr. Tony touched
their lives.
Wade Allen, UNCP student, stated, “He was my great mentor, my journalism hero, my college
professor, my inspiration, my confidant, and forever buddy. Words cannot express the loyalty of
our profound friendship. He's been right beside me in the good times and in the not-so-good
times. One of the men I admire most no longer walks among us. He was the best. Here's to
you, Sir... I will carry your memory in my heart wherever life takes me.”
According to Dr. David Nickel, Professor and Chair, Department of Philosophy and Religion, and current Friends of the
Library (FOL) Board President, “Tony Curtis provided dedicated and invaluable service to the
Friends of the Library, serving on our Board for many years, including two terms as President.
He also was generous in his financial
support of FOL, with his annual
membership giving and his and Judy’s
bidding on auction items at our
fundraisers. His positive and warm spirit
and his wisdom will be greatly missed in
the on-going work of the Friends of the
Library.”
Robert Arndt, Reference/Instructional
Services Librarian stated, “Tony was
always focused on students and the
Library as being the academic center of their
lives. He would personally encourage students
and faculty to use the Library’s resources and services in new and inventive ways.”
“Dr. Curtis was involved in so many different forms of communication. He singlehandedly
created and maintained UNCP’s presence in Second Life.
When the Library received a significant grant for
technology, he had his students make use of the
dedicated Second Life technology resources as part of
their coursework.
These resources are
still being used today.
He actively promoted
the Library’s virtual
reference desk and
virtual book club that
the library staff created in Second Life. Tony was an innovator
when it came to getting students to think and communicate in creative ways,” said
June Power, Access Services/Reference Librarian.

Dr. Elinor Foster Newberry, retired Dean of Library
Services, said, “When Tony and Judy first came to UNC
Pembroke from Ohio, they visited the Library and let me
know they were dedicated library supporters and they
proved to be as good as their word. Dr. Tony Curtis was
passionate about students and libraries, and he
combined these two great interests in his commitment
to leadership of the Friends of the Library of UNC
Pembroke. He twice served as president of the library
support organization and also served other years as the
faculty representative on the Board of Directors of the
Friends of the Library. He and Dr. Judy Curtis provided
a unique cultural experience for some of the members
of the staff of The Pine Needle by sponsoring a table at
the annual library benefit evenings and sitting with the students, who were dressed in evening attire,
enjoying the exciting events which unfolded.”
Aleigha Shears, UNCP student, stated, “Rest easy, Dr. Tony. I will never forget your undeniable willingness to help.
Much, much love and respect! Aleigha”
Susan Whitt, Dean of Library Services, noted, “Tony was a best friend to the Library, its staff, and all our students. I
cannot even begin to think of any person that could ever replace Dr. Curtis and what he meant to so many people. He
was a fantastic educator and person, and he will be deeply missed by all.”

Spring into the Library My reference assistant was Jerry
McRae. He was very helpful in
finding the full text for a research
article I needed. He found a pdf
copy for me and printed it off! Very helpful! I don't know what I
would do without his assistance.
Jerry helped not only find me
sources on the BraveCat but also showed me how
to work it. Awesome!!
Here is the library staff that assists you with your library experience and what our patrons
think of them….
I would like to give a word of
thanks and encouragement to
library staff-Eric Chavis for
nourishing the beautiful flowers
that improve the air and
environment in the library. When
you are in the library for hours at
the time and do not get to see
the outside or breathe in the fresh outside air, the
flowers he nourishes can really cheer up your spirits. Hats off to you for your hard work
and doing more than what’s required. We need flowers in our daily life, not just at the end
of our life. The beautiful floral display on the next page is also one of Eric’s creations.
Just writing to tell you I enjoyed the "Blind Date with a Book" project. What a great idea! It definitely made my day.
Thank you so much for coming to my class today to provide
library instruction for MCM 4360 Mass Communication
Theory and Research. I especially appreciated, as I
know the students did, the handout you brought as well as
the individual attention you gave to each student. You made the database
searches understandable and the students very comfortable in asking questions. Thanks for the
excellent presentation!
I would like to thank
Robert for helping
me with my
research article
information. He was
very helpful to me
and gave me a
bunch of articles to
read for the research I had to do.
Thanks so much It just worked out
that over the semester I was dealing
mostly with Robert and I can't
describe how much he has helped
me. We even stop and have a
conversation on campus sometimes.
He is excellent and has the quickest
response time anyone could ask for
as a graduate student.
I needed help on short notice
and Michael Alewine really
provided much needed
assistance. I completed my
undergraduate work more than
25 years ago. He really helped
me with new research
techniques and helped me
focus on a topic for an upcoming paper. I really
appreciate the personal assistance he provided
and would recommend his assistance to anyone!
I just finished reading “Library Lines” and a big thanks for
including our camp, Junior
Braves, among your articles!
You all did a great job
presenting to the campers
and they had a wonderful time
visiting the Library.
Thank you again for polite
service and we look forward to working with you
again in the future.
All of the library staff at UNCP
have always been very helpful, kind
and courteous to me. When I need
a book they always try very,
very hard to get me what I need. Sometimes they have to wait on other libraries to get what you
need but that is not their fault. I think they do a
great job and they work very hard.
Mr. David is a great guy, friendly,
helpful and considerate. We can
always appreciate people
(person) like him to help
complete and accomplish great
service from library to
successfully complete the
homework (research)
assignment. With all the books I needed is a great
start and way to start my research paper. Thank
you David and staff at UNCP!
Thank you so very much, Ms. Cummings. This is exactly what
I needed, and I am most appreciative for the time and
effort you devoted to helping me. You've made my day. Thanks for the last batch of photos. You are my angel. I
sincerely appreciate your invaluable assistance in furnishing the photos
that I will use to create a printed invitation to the
Braboy highway marker dedication.

I am pleased with
the Library staff.
They are extremely
helpful and eager to
assist you with any
questions you may
have.
The library staff provide exceptional service. They are
prompt when responding to email requests, and always
provide relevant tips and strategies to obtain
information for assignment requests. Their
services are a great complement to the
instruction I've received from UNCP faculty,
and I would not have been as successful as I
was in my graduate program without their
expertise.
As always, I received
fast, accurate research
that met my needs. I am
grateful to have such a
service in my graduate
program.
I think the services are
great! Libraries are not
always this helpful at other
schools and it really makes
it a lot less stressful on the
student. Thank you!
The assistance I
received from the library
was amazing. They did an
awesome job and I am very
grateful to attend a
university where I receive
these type of services.
Excellent staff, always knowledgeable and happy to help.
In all my time at UNCP the employees have always been completely
professional regarding any help I might have needed. They were also
always more than willing to take whatever time was needed to assist
you.
I have been FULLY
SATISFIED with my
experiences with
the Livermore
library. You guys
rock!
Everyone was very
helpful. I was able to
access the information
I needed. The library
staff members are
super!

The 26th
National African American Read-In
On Monday, February 16, 2015, the Mary Livermore Library hosted the annual winter meeting of the Southeastern Innovative Users Group (SIUG), which is comprised of member libraries all using the Innovative Interfaces integrated library systems. This was UNCP’s first year hosting the conference, which despite the bad weather many experienced in the state that week, it was a successful event with about 30 attendees. Everybody was impressed with the University and its facilities. They all felt that the SIUG meeting should be held at UNCP again sometime soon.
The SIUG Annual Meeting was attended by Susan Whitt, Dean of Library Services, and by librarians Carl Danis, Collection Development/Electronic Resources Librarian, and June Power, Access Services/Reference Librarian; all are members of SIUG. June Power additionally serves as webmaster for the group and, as part of the SIUG Governing Board, assisted with the planning of this year’s annual meeting.
Carl Danis and June Power made a presentation on UNCP Library’s recent systems update – “Migrating from Consortially Shared Millennium to Individually Hosted Sierra without a Systems Librarian.”

UNCP Hosts the SIUG Annual Meeting
Discussion by attendees at SIUG
Usually the African American Read-In (AARI) activities are held in February, during Black History Month, as a celebration of African American literacy. Unfortunately, that was not possible this year because of several weeks of inclement weather in February. The events, however, were rescheduled for March. After all, African American
literacy is a year-round goal.
The AARI oral recitations program (“Speaking Our Words” Recitations of The Works of African American Authors and Artists) was held March 9. The program featured members of the local community; UNCP students, faculty, and staff; and other “celebrities” such as Bessie Barnes, Miss UNCP 2015, and Candice Noel Locklear, Miss Lumbee 2014-2015.
The Keynote Address, entitled “The Importance of Literacy in African American Culture,” was presented by Reverend Pia Jessup on Tuesday, March 24. The presentation was accompanied by the “soulful” sounds of UNCP students Tangie Harris, Alexis Jones, Jael Pembrick, and the brothers of the Eta
Beta Chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.

National Library Week
The Mary Livermore Library will celebrate National Library Week April 13-17, 2015. National Library Week has been a national observance since 1958, created to promote the contributions of libraries and librarians around the country. Currently the American Library Association sponsors the national campaign. There are two events planned by the Library for the week. First up will be the Library’s Book Sale to benefit the Friends of the Library of The University of North Carolina at Pembroke. A portion of the money taken in goes to the Friends to help sponsor its endeavors. The prices will be $1.00 for hardback items and $.50 for paperback items. Any media items in the book sale will be $1.00 and sold “as is.” There will also be some specially-priced and bargain-priced items. These items will include nonfiction, fiction, juvenile, and video materials. In addition, as a special benefit for “Friends,” there will be a 20% discount on all items purchased by FOL members on the first day of the Book Sale (April 13).
On April 15th, the Friends of the Library will host the General Membership meeting. After the meeting, the
winners of the Dean Elinor F. Foster Poetry/Short Prose Contest will read their entries, and the 2015 UNCP
Campus Scholars will be recognized. The event will take place in the main reading room of the Mary
Livermore Library at 3:30 p.m. and a reception will follow.
The campus and community are invited to join in this annual celebration of National Library Week.
BOOK SALE HOURS
Monday, April 13: 8:00 a.m. to midnight Tuesday, April 14: 8:00 a.m. to midnight
Wednesday, April 15: 8:00 a.m. to midnight
Thursday, April 16: 8:00 a.m. to midnight
Message from the Dean of Library Services
Message from the FOL President
Page 2 Library Lines Vol. 24 | Number 1 | March 2015
I always welcome the chance to write the Dean’s letter and provide information to readers of the Library’s newsletter. It allows me to update you on library happenings, events, and opportunities. This time it is with a heavy heart that I write about an event which seriously impacts our library and Friends of the Library organization.
On January 23, 2015, Dr. Anthony Curtis died of cancer after a brief illness. To say we were all shocked is an understatement. Dr. Tony and his wife, Dr. Judy Curtis, have been stalwart members of our Friends of the Library (FOL) since they came to UNC Pembroke in 2002. He served two terms as our president and was currently serving as immediate past president. He has always been a part of every FOL Board meeting and event held by the Friends, and, quite frankly, I cannot imagine any event without his being there. He was instrumental in encouraging
students to be members of the FOL Board, as well as participants in our programs. His ideas and suggestions moved our library and Friends organization forward. Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Judy. We want her to know how much we thank them both for the support they have shown our library and Friends.
One other event which I would like to let you know about is the Library’s fundraiser which will be held on April 25, 2015. The Friends are working in coordination with the Givens Performing Arts Center to present one of the best events ever. In fact the last conversation I had with Dr. Tony was about this event and his excitement about trying a new format for the yearly benefit. I urge all friends and supporters of the Library to plan to participate in this annual benefit event. Funds from the event are used to support library activities, primarily the provision of nine scholarships to UNCP students.
As always, I encourage all those campus and community members reading this newsletter to join the Friends organization. Please tell others about us and encourage them to join. Thank you, if you are already a member. Your support is essential to making our Friends organization a success. If you have any questions, please call me at 910.521.6212 or Chris Bowyer at 910.521.6483. Information about the Friends, along with membership forms, can be found at www.uncp.edu/academics/library/friends-library.
The last half of this spring semester will be very busy and productive for the Friends of the Library
(FOL). In early March, FOL sponsored “Speaking Our Words: Recitations of the Works of African-
American Authors and Artists,” which had to be rescheduled due to February’s inclement weather.
Later this month, in a Faculty Showcase, UNCP history professor Dr. Charles Beem will discuss the
book he has edited on male consorts of European queens (The Man behind the Queen: Male
Consorts in History). The annual Poetry/Short Prose Contest, sponsored for our university and our
community, will hopefully brighten up the day of anyone who is downhearted on the income-tax-
deadline day of April 15. Then the Friends will cap off the semester with our fundraiser for this year
by doing something entirely different: “A Novel Experience with the Library: F. Scott Fitzgerald’s
The Great Gatsby,” on Saturday, April 25, in conjunction with the performance of the musical based on Fitzgerald’s
novel at Givens Performing Arts Center. Preceding the play, starting at 6 p.m. in the University Center Annex, there will
be a “meet and greet” opportunity with the actors, a delicious dinner, and a presentation by UNCP history professor, Dr.
Ryan Anderson, on the cultural and historical background of the Roaring 20s that will add extra layers of meaning and
enjoyment to the experience of the play. I hope you’ll be able to attend our fundraiser and some of the other FOL-
sponsored events this spring. Thank you for your continued support of the Friends of the Library.
