Our President Raymond Muller suggests we should create a project
file in order that the Library may obtain an inscription from
the prestigious International Organism, UNESCO, under the heading
“Memory of the World.” The Committee is operating
in this direction and a support group has been formed to promote
the project.
In the beginning of February 2008, a project file was sent to
the French Committee “Memory of the World” in order
to participate to the selection that is to take place in March.
If it is accepted, it will be transmitted to the International
UNESCO Committee, who will decide whether or not to register it.
More news to follow!
The grave stones and inscriptions cemented into the wall of the
Library entrance are lacking explanatory notices. The Board has
appointed Marie-Thérèse Sauter (with the help of
her husband, Paul Sauter) to study the possibility of creating
such notices for the public.
A 1513 work of art, signed by Marcantonio Sabellicus, (a contemporary
of Erasmus and Venetian librarian) will receive a new book binding
that should be carried out once more, by the artist Anne Giordan,
whose know how and imagination we have had occasion to admire
many times now.
