June Callwood

A great Canadian passed this week while I was in the UK or I would have blogged it sooner. June Callwood was a wonderful woman who I had the pleasure of knowing and we served together on a few committees. She was amazing and knew everybody. She was a great friend to libraries and often spoke at our conferences. She was a exemplar of energy and there were few causes upon which she didn’t make an impact. Between the Nellies, Casey House, AIDS, copyright, feminism and many diseases, she was often at the center with her thoughful and insightful manner. She was an great lady, a great writer and it’s a great loss.
