A project which will assemble a reading room assignee by the tastes of the addict community, and to be housed in the Vancou/er Public Library. VANDU has a keen interest where this project may lead to in the future. The Vancouver Area Networks believes that users or people being introduced to the active drug culture can benefit from this project t and the room will appeal to some residents, and patrons of the library. Will it house resource materials?, self help?, f ction? No am knows, but there may be value to researchers in u iderstandtng what users are reading. We foresee benefits pre* ed in this project that will benefit both users, and the community. We look forward to providing input on what books the Nova ! brary will house, and eagerly await to take advantage the final product.
