“I am always pleased to

DLA Bulletin Jan./Feb. page 2
Happy New Year and welcome back from your
holiday gatherings! As we all knuckle down to our
mounting piles of paperwork and electronic loads
let us take a moment to pause and reflect on our
own good fortune to live in America and work in a
society that embraces our freedoms and our ALA
Bill of Rights. Also, let us try to do all we can to
support and further the world efforts to assist those
impacted by the unbelievable tragedies that
occurred over the holidays.
For our spring bulletin, I did want to take this
opportunity to share some insight from a personal
perspective on the Integrated Library System. This
project, managed under the direction of our State
Librarian, Annie Norman and her team at the
Delaware Division of Libraries, will provide a
single catalog interface for the Kent and Sussex
Public Libraries. The system chosen is Sirsi and
the finalized contracts are under review.
The integrated library system will open a brand
new vista for Delaware Libraries and affect each
one of us. Not only will the patrons of Kent and
Sussex County enjoy a single searching interface
for their public library resources but they will
become better acquainted with the library services
and programming from all our libraries. As
patrons of the entire system, they will feel
ownership and identify with the need to support
the efforts to provide resources for every area of
our state.
Keep an eye out on the DLA list for updates on the
implementation of the system and please join me
in applauding all the hard work done by the staff at
the Delaware Division of Libraries. They
coordinated and provided collaborative
opportunities for the stakeholders involved to
address the multiple issues identified as crucial
hurdles for a project of this type.

Friday the 13th, May 2005
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood
Prince, the much-anticipated sixth
title of the popular series about the
British boy who discovers he is a
talented wizard, hits American
bookstores July 16. Readers young
and old have fallen under the spell of
the Harry Potter books, by author
J.K. Rowling. In the United States,
there are over 80 million Harry
Potter books in print, and each title
has been on the New York Times,
USA Today, and Wall Street Journal
bestseller lists. The fifth title, Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,
set records with its first print run of
6.8 million copies and a second print
run of an additional 1.7 million
copies, a figure unprecedented for
any book.
Arthur Levine read J.K. Rowling’s
book on a flight from New York to
the Bologna Book Fair in Italy. He
bid for the publication rights,
eventually paying $100,000. It was
possibly Scholastic’s payment of this
enormous figure which led to instant
media attention, thereby putting
Rowling’s work in the spotlight
more than the already-favorable
reviews might have done (J.K.
Rowling: A Biography, Sean Smith,
Michael O’Mara Books Limited,
2001).
Arthur Levine is a vice-president of
Scholastic Inc. and editorial director
of Arthur A. Levine Books. Prior to
establishing his imprint at Scholastic,
Levine held the position of editor-in-chief of
Books for Young Readers at Alfred A. Knopf and
at G.P. Putnam's Sons. Among the wide range of
books he has edited are Philip Pullman’s The
Golden Compass, Rafe Martin and David

who died while president of DLA in January of
1950, “to aid Delaware students in library schools,
or those who have completed college study but
need assistance in earning their Master’s Degree.”
The Helen H. Bennett Scholarship was established
in 1970 by the Delaware Library Association to
honor Helen H. Bennett’s dedication to the
improvement and support of school libraries and
school librarians. The intent of the scholarship is
“…for the registration and/or tuition to a person
working for certification or a Master’s Degree in
Library Science. This person will agree to work in
a school oriented library in Delaware.”

Deborah Ruff, Principal of St. Catherine of Siena
School in Wilmington was listed on the annual Ad-ministrator
Honor Roll in the October 2004 issue of
School Library Journal. Mrs. Ruff was among sev-enteen
administrators honored for actively support-ing
the mission of the library media center in their
schools.
Experience as a full time school library media spe-cialist
and as a classroom teacher adds to Mrs.
Ruff’s appreciation of the importance of the library
media program in her school. Her mission as an ad-ministrator
is to lead a school that educates the
whole child, including a quality library media pro-gram
with abundant print and instructional technol-ogy
resources accessible to students and staff. St.
Catherine of Siena’s Library Media Specialist, Ms.
Patricia Moy, is responsible for developing an effec-tive
