If you'd like to have a hands-on experience with repairing materials,
Carolee will be have her usual all-day bookmending workshop at our
conference, but please note space is limited to the first eight
participants.  If you'd like to attend, register sooner rather than
later.  And hey, registering early gets you a bit of a discount, too!

As always, don't hesitate to send questions to you might have to me
rebeccar at multco.us, or to olassd at gmail.com, or simply comment on the
blog and we'll get back to you.

Cheers!
