I think she may want to, instead of me. As predicted, our director is trying to find a way into her front door. I suggested to a co-worker that it might be wise to find out what interests Anne Rice has (if any) in her donating before trying to squeeze money out of her. Just because she's a writer, doesn't mean that she funds libraries. She may have other uses for her money.

Like buying plungers for all those bathrooms.

On the other hand, it was nice to see that Marilyn and Tom Ross (self-publishing experts) have given a sizable gift to the library at my old alma mater (San Diego State University).....I am pleased because my director thinks my old school doesn't have enough snob appeal for her.

Sometimes, irony is sweet. If you couldn't guess, I'm a little irritated at my director these days.
