Midwinter Tour Opportunity to Princeton Preservation Office

["Robert J. Milevski" <milevski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

The last time ALA Midwinter was in Philadelphia there was a BIG SNOW STORM.
The day before that happened, however, Princeton University Library hosted a
tour of its Preservation Office and conservation lab.  We bussed folk from
Philly to Princeton early in the morning, conducted a tour which included a
late-in-the-day side trip to Special Collections for those souls so willing,
a sit-down lunch at the faculty club, and a late afternoon busride back to
Philly.  An all-day affair, to be sure.

I would like to inquire whether there are hardy ALA-bound souls among you
who missed this event the first time around who would be now interested in
the opportunity again.  Redux.

I would like to hear from you onlist or off.  I would also like to know what
you believe to be the best day for you to attend the tour.  If I get enough
response (say 12- 15 or more folk)  and a mutually agreeable day works out
for all involved, I will then make the arrangements.  The drill will be
similar to that described above, with the exception of a box lunch, rather
than a hot meal.  Sorry, economy rules.

This offer is made in the same spirit as the first event:  I am proud of our
preservation/conservation program and I like to show it off, but we are
slightly off the beaten track.  

Look forward to hearing from you, one way or another.

Robert Milevski
