[Libs-Or] Fwd: Women of Library History Wednesday - Mayme Agnew Clayton and a note about WoLH

[Diedre Conkling]

Some of you have contributed to and been reading posting at
http://womenoflibraryhistory.tumblr.com<http://womenoflibraryhistory.tumblr.com/post/68988764870/mydaguerreotypelibrarian-auntada-over-the>.
I thought I would let you know that next Wednesday will be the last posting
for the year but the project has been so successful that it will probably
start up again for Women's History Month February 2014 so get your
submissions ready for when the call goes out.

It is Women of Library History Wednesday.

Over the course of 45 years, Culver City, California librarian Mayme Agnew
Clayton (August 4, 1923 - October 13, 2006) collected more than 30,000 rare
and out-of-print books.

Happy Women's History Wednesday! As we near the end of 2013, I have a few
programming notes to share about WoLH:

   - we have finished posting everything that was submitted during our Call
   for Submissions in March! If you submitted a post before our March 25th
   deadline and you haven't seen it yet, please e-mail me
   (womenoflibraryhistory at gmail) so I can investigate.
   - as of this writing, we have *444* followers, which seems auspicious!
   We've also received comments via e-mail and Facebook as folks see
   librarians they remember from their own pasts. If you have a favourite post
   or have seen an old friend on the blog, we'd love to hear about it!
   - today, we'll feature another reblog from My Daguerreotype
Librarian<http://mydaugerreotypelibrarian.tumblr.com/>,
   our librarian-history Tumblr friends. Next week, I hope you'll indulge me
   as I share a story from my own community. After that, we'll probably turn
   down the lights a bit until next year. An index and some highlights from
   this year's posts are also forthcoming.
   - if you are interested in helping with next year's project, or if you
   have ideas for the future of Women of Library History, please get in touch
   via e-mail (womenoflibraryhistory at gmail). We would also love to see you
   at the Feminist Task Force meetings at Midwinter in Philadelphia--I'll post
   more schedule information as that gets closer.

It's been a real joy to hear everyone's stories and share them with the
world of Tumblr and the Internet at large this year. Thank you all for
submitting and listening!
