[Michlib-l] Cataloging for new Harry Potter "book"

[Stanczak, Cindy]

Ditto with Albion.  Having it in with the plays in non-fiction and under
Thorne would be a recipe for it to vanish from the patron eye.

For more information, please call 517-629-3993 or visit us at 501 S.
Superior Street in downtown Albion.
