So great to see a librarian in the newspaper! This article is about Dr Alex Byrne, new state librarian. An interesting read!

The article is about the new library at Macquarie University and the automated storage and retrieval system that will save space while allowing them to keep all their books. The library will definitely be on my "places to visit" list next time I visit Sydney (which isn't very often, mind you, as I am 10hours away).
