 There had to be maximum wall space in order to display the art as well as Roy's collection of rare books, because we both wanted to live with the art. He also has a large collection of Western paintings and I have a lot of Chinese paintings and calligraphy. You have to blend those two styles together and also blend the household furnishings. |

| We have a fine collection of children's books. |
| The average age of our collection has obviously gone up because we haven't been able to replace books. |
| We had books in our library already on this art. That meant we could do research in our own collection. |
| People call each other when they see new books on the shelves. New books are usually checked out in two days, DVDs in (only) hours. |

| No matter how well you market [the permanent collection], people know it. They're only going to come back so often to a collection they've seen before. They want something new. My frustration is that we have to do an either/or rather than a both. Every other museum with a collection of this quality has the option of doing both. |
