rememberance of Noel Peattie
I am very sad to tell you that librarian, poet, and Revolting Librarians [and Redux] contributer Noel Peattie passed away yesterday. He was an amazing man and a wonderful contributor to the field of librarianship. My colleague Chris Dodge has written a remembrance of him which I have posted here.
