National Treasures of Australia's Great Libraries

This looks as though it will be an extremely good exhibition with good associated activities. I also cut out a review from the Herald yesterday on a book "Ida Leeson: A Life" by Sylvia Martin.242. $29.95

"The result is an engrossing portrait of an interesting woman and a fascinating city"

I met Ida Leeson while I was working in The Mitchell Library(1959-1962)
I would come upon her unexpectedly quietly working in the stacks. She was often very helpful in directing one to find resources .
