Gothic Romance Lending Library
Donation Update
In May 2013, Gothic Journal donated its 3,400+ volume Gothic Romance Lending Library (GRLL) and a set of Gothic Journal back issues to McDaniel College's Hoover Library in Westminster, Maryland. Hoover Library has recently started processing them into its circulating collection, so they soon will be available to anyone in the McDaniel College community or to the general public via interlibrary loan. For details, see the May 2013 Gothic Journal press release available at this link. See also: McDaniel Receives $100,000 Grant from the Nora Roberts Foundation in Oct. 2013 for the third year in a row.
