Baryshnikov Donates to NY Libraries

So Baryshnikov recently donated a ton of his personal things to the NY Public Libraries. Still think libraries aren't relavent? Who do you think has to process all of these items, organize them and then make sure they're in proper condition to be presented to the public? Librarians, that's who.

I can't wait until things are digitized and uploaded- even if you know nothing about ballet, he was an amazing dancer and a great advocate for artistic freedom. I'd love to see some of the videos, so see the evolution of him as a dancer.
