Boston's loss is Chicago's gain [LISNews.com] The cash-strapped Massachusetts Horticultural Society has sold its collection of rare books and journals to the Chicago Botanic Garden. This story in the Chicago Tribune (free registration may be required) was front-page news in the hard copy delivered to my curb this morning. The Botanic Garden (which isn't actually in Chicago) now needs a place to put the stuff, which includes a Latin "History of Plants" published in 1483. There's a fact sheet about the sale on the Chicago Botanic Garden's website. 2:21:26 PM    comments? [] Have you had your flu shot? The library has a list of sites where the Community Nurse Health Association is giving flu and pneumonia shots. Today they are at the Lyons Township Hall, 6404 Joliet Rd. from 6-9 pm and tomorrow at Community Nurse Health Association, 110 Calendar Ave from 2-6 pm.  10:54:51 AM    comments? []
