Summary
In 2016, we celebrated our 20th year anniversary. On January 31, 2016, at year-end we reached our 82 millionth library patron. Over the years, much has changed with our online library. To keep our patrons informed with the ongoing changes, we created the World Library Foundation Newsletter. The newsletter will include news and information about our various portals and the wonderful books, articles, encyclopedias, photographs, and research documents within our libraries. For our very first issue, March 1, 2017, we would like to share with you some some stories about the books you will find on our shelves. We hope this first newsletter will inspire you to discover some of the many books that can be found at our library. In addition to this newsletter, we’ve also started producing the Behind the Book Lecture Series (http://www.worldlibrary.org/ExhibitGallery.aspx), to help you further discover inspiring books. When you get a chance check out our Behind the Book Lectures and let us know what you think about our new video series.

Excerpt
In light of International Women’s Day on March 8th, we celebrate all rebellious women throughout literature, not simply because they rebelled, but because their rebellion helped pave the way for all women of today (not to mention the voices of all other diversely oppressed people). Sculpting an identity amid a culture and time that would deny them that requires courage and willful imagination.
