<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18pt;color:rgb(7,55,99)">The other day my colleagues and I were thinking and talking about the future of our library and I threw out the idea of creating a class that is within the library department. We were wondering
if there are any schools out there that have done this. We're not asking if there are any librarians that teach classes but are there are any librarians that teach a class that is within the library, not under the English department, or in partnership with
anybody else but actually done completely by the library. It's just an idea that we're kicking around. We're not even sure that it's possible but we wanted to find out if there is anyone out there that is doing this.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
