Good news: we have been picked to do the RBMS event

We have just been notified that we were selected (by lottery) to be one of the 28 ABAA members to exhibit at the 50th Annual RBMS Pre-conference. The RBMS (Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association...hence the convenient acronym) holds these meetings yearly, this year's topic being "Seas of Change: Navigating the Cultural and Institutional Contexts of Special Collections".

We tried to go last year, but were not able to get off the wait list. We are very excited to be able to attend this event. 

If we were very smart, we would coordinate this trip with taking classes at the RBS, but it is unlikely we will be that clever. Both Suzanne and I have been awarded scholarships (me last year, Suz this year...they are good for a two year period)...but I think we are planning to go in the fall.
