As part of iam2m, the City of Santa Monica will add 2000 books on the arts, the environment, and local history to the collections of the Santa Monica Public Library. A special iam2m Collection bookplate will identify each book in the Collection.

iam2m Collection books will provide information and enjoyment for a variety of audiences—children and adults-and will be available in every branch of the library system.

The iam2m Collection will debut at a special program on in January 2000.

Throughout the year, special displays will highlight facets of the iam2m Collection. Bookmarks and reading lists featuring selected titles will be available in the libraries, as well as on the SMPL website and at www.iam2m.com. The complete list of titles will be displayed in the Library on-line catalog in the Information Desk module.

To view a list of titles in the iam2m Collection, click on the link to The Library Catalog at www.smpl.org. Select Information Desk on the sidebar menu on the left side of the catalog screen, and click on iam2m Collection.
