Greetings everyone,

I am excited to announce that there will be a Library Corner at Summer
University! There will be a whole room set aside and a strict "NO food & NO
drink" policy enforced. I will be there all day to ensure this rule is
followed and that no books leave the room either.

What is a "library corner"? Well, we all have books and resources that are
sometimes too valuable to bring to every event. This would
your opportunity to share these precious gems in a very controlled
environment. There will be a scanner available (if the owner allows
copies/scans to be made) but I would greatly welcome more scanners if they
are brought. Prior to the event there will be a list posted of books that
will be available. If you have a book you would like to "lend out" for the
day at University please send me an email with a list of what you are
bringing. If you anticipate that you might want to scan a few pages please
bring a thumb drive as that will be the only way for you to have your own
copy. The ability to make color or B&W copies will not be available unless
someone else were to volunteer that service. If you would like to volunteer
some time to watch/guard the library I would welcome that as well.
