CYPRUS

by KALAMOS BOOKS

July 22nd 1974 was my very memorable wedding day. Two days before the Turks had invaded Cyprus, all aircraft were grounded in Athens, Mother in Law never got to Canada, some Greek guests at the reception were huddled over a short-wave radio relaying the latest news [Some apparently planning to return to Greece to fight... at the time it was not at all clear to me if this was against the Junta or the Turks!.] A truly unforgettable day! This is why, instead of a mini list of materials on Cyprus, here is a link to everything in the catalogue with the keyword CYPRUS *all offered at 20% off the listed price.* https://www.antiqbook.com/search.php?action=search&l=en&owner_id=kal&full=c… June Samaras Sincerely wishing for continuing peace for all Cypriots in this challenging week. ------------------------------------ June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal -- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal

Libraries reducing collections budget for 2020-21 fiscal year

by KALAMOS BOOKS

I suspect that in the coming months there will be many more notices like the one below. It is not just the losses in current year acquisitions, but collection gaps in the long term that may be problematic. When I was at Library school in Manchester in the 1960s I remember a discussion about the effects of the Great Depression on libraries. As disposable income disappeared there was a surge in public demand. Acquisitions in some areas were more or less abandoned. Poetry was one subject deemed rather less essential at the time, and a librarian in special collections remarked that they were still trying to plug the gaps left by that decade of missing titles. . June S PS: Note the kicker that .. "Additionally, the Libraries’ base collection budget is not large enough to cover annual inflation increases of renewable content licenses and some other purchases." ====================== Penn State Libraries reducing collections budget for 2020-21 fiscal year ? https://news.psu.edu/story/624778/2020/07/02/research/penn-state-libraries-… ====================- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal
