May is the month to honor Asian and Pacific Islander American heritage. Our Contemporary reading shelves feature books by or about such great authors, artists and figures such as Ang Lee, Amy Tan, Joan Chen, David Hwang, Aimee Phan, Jessica Hagedorn, Denise Chong, Isamu Noguchi, Haruki Marukami* and more. Books on history include topics such as Asian Americans in the United States and in California, Angel Island, Japanese Internment in World War II, and Hawaiian sovereignty.
*The Library currently accepts donations of books by prominent Asian and Asian American authors. We will especially welcome books by Haruki Marukami.

Library Party for Faculty and Staff Only This Friday
Wine, Weed & Weep” Party
May 2, 2008 2-5 pm
TO ALL FACULTY:
Don’t miss the Library’s THIRD “Wine & Weed” party Friday afternoon May 2! We will CLOSE EARLY at 2:00pm! Please join us for refreshments, conversation with colleagues and a little work revitalizing our collections. We’ll teach you how to “WEED” in a library—the rewards are great!
WHY WEEP?
After 38 years at Chabot, Barbara Lawrence has decided she’d rather be at her new home in Nevada City than come to Chabot every day. This is your chance to come lift a glass in honor of our one and ONLY Library Goddess, She Who Can Never Be Replaced!
SPECIAL FUN ACTIVITY!
In addition to working on renewing the book collection we’re asking for help with our PRINT PERIODICALS! As more and more periodicals are available in full-text format in subscription databases we don’t need or want to buy so many titles in paper format. Come help us decide which paper subscriptions we can let go in your discipline and perhaps what new things we can add! Also please take a look at the last day of some of our database trials!
