I love stuff like this. On the opening of a new library, an audacious librarian, Marguerite Hart, wrote to writers, actors, musicians, politicians, even astronauts, asking them to encourage the children of her community to use the library. And they responded! The resulting collection - now available online - became known as the Letters to the Children of Troy.
