One Maryland One Book Discussion: Purple Hibiscus What if everyone read the same book?

That was the idea behind the Maryland Humanities program, One Maryland One Book (OMOB), now in its 10

th

year. According to the

Maryland Humanities website, the program is designed to “bring together diverse people in communities across the state through the

shared experience of reading the same book.”

This fall, join thousands of Marylanders who will be reading and discussing this year’s OMOB selection, Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The theme for this year’s OMOB is “home and belonging.” As described on the Maryland Humanities website, “Purple Hibiscus is an exquisite novel about the emotional turmoil of adolescence, the powerful bonds of family, and the bright promise of freedom.” Visit the Maryland Humanities website at www.mdhumanities.org for more information about OMOB events throughout Maryland, including author tours and the “Wandering Books” activity.

In support of the OMOB program, HCC Library will be hosting a book discussion led by HCC librarian Cindy Conley on October 2, 12:00-1:30 p.m. at the Hays-Heighe House. Seating is limited and registration is required. To reserve a seat, call 443-412-2083 or email cyconley@harford.edu. Participants will receive a free copy of the novel, while supplies last.

Library Celebrates 50-Year FDLP Anniversary

By Andie Craley, Manager for Technical Services & Government Documents Librarian, Depository Library Coordinator

Join us on Constitution Day, September 18, to celebrate HCC Library’s 50th anniversary as a Federal Depository Library!

Tying in with the Hays-Heighe House “Tech Revolution” exhibit, the Library is hosting a living history “Scientist and Inventor” presentation by the first Public Printer of the United States, Benjamin Franklin, as portrayed by local historian David Fisher.

Both performances are already filled to capacity.

Following that program, HCC Library with be presented with its FDLP 50th Anniversary glass award by the Honorable Davita Vance-Cooks, Director of the Government Publishing Office, during a ceremony in L326 from 1:45 to 3:00 p.m., with remarks from HCC President Dr. Dianna Phillips and special government proclamations. Afterwards, a celebratory cake will be served on the 2nd floor of the Library.

See more about HCC Library’s involvement with the FDLP and access government information on the “Government Documents” webpage: http://www.harford.edu/academics/library/researchresources/government-documents.aspx and on the “Government Documents at HCC Library” subject guide at: http://harford.libguides.com/govdocs.

Historical Facts about HCC Library’s Federal Depository Library Status: The U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) disseminates classes of government documents they publish from federal agencies through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) free of cost to designated libraries throughout the United States and its territories. Since an act of Congress in 1813, FDLP libraries offer free

and open access to these federal publications to their patrons.

Just 10 years after Harford Junior College’s establishment in 1957, a January 17, 1967 letter from Congressman Clarence D. Long, Maryland 2nd District Representative in the U.S. Congress, to Mr. Joseph N. Hankin, President of Harford Junior College, states that Rep. Long has nominated Harford Junior College Library for depository status in the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP).

A January 26, 1967 article published in The Harford Democrat and Aberdeen Enterprise states that “Rep. Long noted that establishment of a depository at Bel Air would provide quick access to public documents for workers at Aberdeen Proving Ground and Edgewood Arsenal.”

An April 13, 1967 letter from Head Librarian Frances E. Brown at HJC to Rep. Long describes the need for closer access to government information due to the rapid growth in population because of U.S. Government installations at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Bainbridge Naval Training Center, and Edgewood Arsenal, and to growing industries and agriculture in Harford County, and with an expanding Division of Continuing Education at HJC. In a letter dated June 1, 1967 from Superintendent of Documents Carper W. Buckley to Congressman Clarence D. Long, Mr. Buckley acknowledged Harford Junior College Library’s designation statements and signed the Library into federal depository library status.

HCC Library was the only Federal Depository Library in Maryland’s 2nd Congressional District since 1999 until Harford County underwent redistricting in 2002 and again in 2011. Since then, HCC Library has been in (Continued on page 4)

The Honorable Davita Vance-Cooks, Director of the U.S. Government Publishing Office, will present an award.
