Kane The city o f Detroit, Michigan will serve as the proud host of ACRL’s 9th National Conference in April 1999- Anyone who knows Detroit knows that the city’s renais­ sance has been going strong— pleasantly sur­ prising unsuspecting visitors— for quite some time, thanks to billions o f dollars in new in­ vestment and the accompanying renewed sense o f civic vitality and confidence. Just north of the Theater District and a five-minute bus or cab ride from Cobo is an area known as the Cultural Center, home to a cluster of the city’s finest cultural enterprises, including the Detroit Institute o f Arts, the Detroit Histori­ cal Museum, the Detroit Science Center, the Detroit Children’s Museum, the Detroit Pub­ lic Library, the Center for Creative Studies, and Wayne State University’s (WSU) main and medical campuses. cache/crln-21293.pdf txt/crln-21293.txt
