Great Libraries of the World (GLOW) is a project in honor of librarians, curators and subject specialists whose passion and work focus on two goals: preserving the stories of our culture and invigorating society by encouraging enquiring minds.  GLOW's mission is to cast light on the many ways librarians inspire us to be curious, creative and capable.  We hope you enjoy each GLOW episode.  Perhaps we'll take you on a video visit to a library you've not discovered before.
