Not at Home to Callers
Says the Naked Tree --
Bonnet due in April --
Wishing you Good Day
--Emily Dickinson
Here in Harlemville, this has been a March to try the modesty of trees! I imagine they're beginning to tire of their snowy toques and to yearn for more colorful raiment.
The changing light and returning robins promise winter's gradual waning; we'll be touting beach reads before you know it!

What's Happening in the Library
Anniversary!
The Rudolf Steiner Library celebrates 85 years of service in 2013. What will the library be like in 2098? Certainly different, and definitely relevant. We'll be looking to you for suggestions and encouragement along the way!
Annotations
We prepared a batch of annotations of new books for the latest issue of the Anthroposophical Society's journal, Being Human, that weren't printed because of space consider-ations. In their place, see the beautiful tribute in the magazine to our emeritus library director, Fred Paddock.
Needed
We're missing several back issues of the journal Biodynamics:
Winter 1978, No. 129;
Spring 1983, No. 146;
Vol. 8, Nos. 1,2,3: Winter 1949/50;
Spring 1950; Autumn 1950.
Do any readers have hard copies of these issues to donate? If you don't want to give up your copies, perhaps we could borrow and photocopy them.
RSL Digital
We hope you're enjoying the ever-increasing library content
(currently 123 items, including 67 complete issues of the Journal for Anthroposophy) available online.
