Working on a research guide for invasive species in the #LowerRioGrandeValley. I didn't now what I was expecting when I took on this task, but I can tell you that this project is both dull and interesting. #LibaryLife #AcademicLibrary #SpecialCollections #RioGrandeValley #InvasiveSpecies

Some #newspaper #clippings of the two men (no pictures) during their time working in the #LowerRioGrandeValley.

Part of what I love about my job is learning the #history of the #LowerRioGrandeValley (#LRGV), a place I've lived my whole life (all almost 40 years - yikes!) and still know so little about.

I'm researching José Cantú, a local radio host known for his show Progama Popular, which ran from 1946 until his tragic death in 1952. He didn't shy away from politics and he was critical of the corruption within. Some believe that is what led to the car accident that took his life. #LibraryLife
