For all the romantics out there, new or old! Since this came on an IFLA email group I thought that I'd take the opportunity to remind you that the 2005 IFLA World Congress is about to take place in Buenos Aires. Full details are on the web site: http://www.ifla.org/ And details including newsletter, business plan and minutes of meetings, publications etc regarding public libraries is at the link: http://www.ifla.org/VII/s8/ I will be sending leaflets and posters of the IFLA Public Library Guidelines to all local authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in September but they are available as pdf's on the weblink for the Section if you want to get hold of them now by downloading them.

This will include true stories of people who met and fell in love in a library setting, which could be a library, library school, library conference, or other related locale. I would love to hear from people with a story to tell. Names and some details of place may be changed on request to protect privacy. I don't need polished stories - just personal accounts that I may edit and weave together under chapter headings. Not all stories will necessarily have happy endings. Poignancy and/or humour is welcomed. This project is garnering a lot of interest, and some fascinating stories are coming in. Please visit my website at www.libraryromance.com and spread the word to others who may be interested. I hope to have stories from all over the world.
