Greetings, The Grosse Pointe Public Library Woods branch is withdrawing The Dictionary of Art (34 volumes, copyright 1996) from its reference collection. It's so hard to let these go but we just don't have the room or, sadly, the interest. Please let me know if your library would like them; pick up only, please. Sincere regards, [cid:37ec4c45-2eb9-42ea-a6ba-711924a6a401]MARIA E. ALMAGUER, M.I.L.S.
