I am posting this notice to inform Buffalonians of an exhibition being held at the Buffalo and Erie County Central Library beginning September 14, 2005 and running through January of 2006. The Library and Library Foundation have been hard at work designing an exhibition for an extremely rare map created in 1815 by William Smith that charts the strata of England and parts of Scotland. This artifact is astonishingly one of only forty existing original maps in the world. In addition to owning this map, the Buffalo Library has within its rare book collection the corresponding, hand-drawn plates that chart various fossils unearthed within the strata levels. The map's creator William Smith has been immortalized in a compelling book about his life saga by best-selling author Simon Winchester.

During the last few weeks of continuous Katrina coverage, I came across a story on the internet about a New Orleans theater company that was performing at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival during the hurricane. The company members were watching the coverage on TV between performances, concerned about their homes and their friends.
According to the article from NBC10 in Philadelphia, the company members were very concerned about their future:
"It's like your whole life, just in one storm, totally nothing, you just got to start over," said Erica Centurion. These actors' passion may be in the theater, but their paychecks come from tourists. In New Orleans they are waiters an…
