The week of April 8 is Student Employment Awareness Week on campus. Every year, we recognize the Libraries' student employees at a reception in the third floor lounge, Main Library. This year, the reception will be held on Tuesday, April 9, 3:30-4:30. Please mark your calendars so you can participate in this opportunity to thank our students. Also--please encourage your student employees to attend so all of us can show them our appreciation.

2. GIFT BOOKS FROM MONOGRAPHIC PROCESSING SERVICES
Monographic Processing Services has available several hundred gift books, many of which are already in the IUB collections. These books, which are in the social sciences and humanities, have imprints of roughly 1986 through 1995. We are offering them to any interested IU system library. In a project similar to the IU Press gifts project of last year, we will send lists of available books via paper or electronic mail to the selectors. If you are interested in receiving these lists, please send a message to Mary Hrovat in MPS (mhrovat@indiana.edu; MPS Dept., Main Library E350; (812) 855-1670). If you received the IU Press gift books lists, the new lists will be sent to you automatically unless you request otherwise. If you have questions, please contact Mary Hrovat or Peggy Underwood.

3. WYLIE HOUSE REOPENS WITH HEIRLOOM SEED SALE
Wylie House Museum opens its 1996 tour season on Saturday, March 2, from 10AM to 4PM with a Seed Sale aimed at inspiring local gardeners to grow heirloom varieties and teaching them to save their own seeds. At 11AM and 2PM, Curator Bonnie Williams will present hour-long classes for adults on how to save seeds. A 30-minute session for kids will start at 1PM and will present basic ideas about seed saving and biodiversity with fun activities and stories. The sale table will offer seeds from antique flowers and vegetables grown at Wylie House, while the seed swap table will give local seed savers an opportunity to exchange free seeds from their own gardens. (Seed swappers are asked to bring seeds that have been properly stored, labelled, and not more than two years old.) The information table with heirloom gardening books, seed-saving manuals, and catalogs from heirloom seed suppliers will prove helpful to beginning gardeners and veterans alike. Wylie House is located at 307 E. 2nd Street. The museum is handicap accessible from the drive just east of the house. Regular tour hours are Tuesday through Saturday 1-4 PM March through November.
