1. Journal of the Minnesota Library Association, Lakeland Lib*arian (Lakeland Librarian), Fall 1972
- Creator:
- Minnesota Library Association; McClellan, Audrey (editor)
- Date Created:
- 1972
- Description:
- Volume 21, number 4 of the Lakeland Libarian (Librarian in the title was intentionally misspelled as Libarian with an asterisk in place of the first r for this issue) was published in the fall of 1972. This issue includes a recap of the fall annual conference, legislative topics, an obituary for former MLA president Maurine Hoffman, announcement of a contest for renaming the Lakeland Libarian, a fund appeal for dismissed Polk County Library employees Cleo McDonald and Avis Boe, a denial by the Intellectual Freedom Committee for a request for action by Jack Baker, a call for the creation of a legal defense fund, notes from the Intellectual Freedom Committee, letters to the editor, book reviews, trustee notes, and committee reports. The Lakeland Libarian replaced The MLA Bulletin as the official newsletter of the Minnesota Library Association (MLA) in 1972, after an appointed publication board became responsible for all Minnesota Library Association publications. The Lakeland Libarian employed a newspaper format, incorporating features such as a letter to the editor column, students' column, trustee's section, want ads, and coverage of statewide events. Following a backlash over the intentional misspelling of the word "librarian" in the title, a contest was held to rename the publication and in the spring of 1973 the Lakeland Libarian became the North Country Librarian.
