Chris, At this point I just need to be able to show that such combinations are not a new, untried concept. It would help to be able to enumerate some of the ways in which a combined library/museum facility can: share resources such as climate controlled storage, staff facilities, public (e.g.lobby) space, electronic media; provide a more complete community outreach program; draw patrons; apply for grants for shared programs: and probably others that don't come to mind at the moment. Thanks for any information, advice, inspiration that i can use to make a case for this idea with the sceptics and supporters alike. Mariana
