Good morning,
The Atlantian Library planned for KASF needs materials. Do you have a
great source book that you would love to share? We would love to have
it and will make sure it is treated respectfully.
>From Dame Hrothny who conceived the Atlantian Library...
"If you are looking for a particular book, I encourage you to ask
about it here, in the hopes that someone will have it and will bring
it for you to look at.
If you are interested in sharing your books, especially the ones not
easily found in Barnes & Noble or other 'standard' bookstores, you
would earn the gratitude of many... and it's always fun to listen to
the squeals of people when they are reading them.
To speed up the process in the morning and at close of day, it would
be a blessing if the book owner would pre-mark their books in this
manner:
1- Using gift wrapping ribbon, circle the book by running the ribbon
through the middle of the book and back out along the binding, making
the circle as tight as possible without damaging the book. Tie it and
clip off the ribbon.
(It would look like a string bookmark tied shut.)
2 - Write your name on a label and fold the label over a section of
the ribbon so it 'flaps' along the spine like a flag on a flag pole.
3 - Baroness Kaleeb figured out last year that marking " _[single
number]_ of _[total books]" (for example, "1 of 24", , "5 of 24") on
the label helped her round up her books at the end of the day. Even a
simple "____ books" on each label will help us ensure that all of your
books get back to you.
REMEMBER: No baskets, backpacks, bags or other items large enough to
conceal a book will be allowed in the library. We have limited storage
space for your personal items at the door, so please plan accordingly.
let us make sure that the donators feel comfortable and safe leaving
their precious items there for us to use. Of course, food and drink
will not be allowed either, for the same reason."
We look forward to encouraging the scholarship of the Kingdom with the
Atlantian library!
Lady Sophia Kress and I will be coordinating the library this weekend
at Dame Hrothny's request. Please contact Sophia
(m_mc_nealy at yahoo.com) or I with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Adirana
