Why is it called the "Scott Hartman Library"?

The librbary is named after Scott Hartman, M.D., who practices family medicine in Chicago, Illinois.

Dr. Hartman also works in treating HIV/AIDS patients.

In additon to his work, Scott is a wonderful person. His kind, compassionate spirit, intelligence, and sense of humor are only some of the reasons so many people choose to have Scott as a friend. Scott is accepting of all people and, through his example, has taught others to see everyone as being equal and deserving of respect.
