Subject:  - Learning Studio - weeks of July 29 & August 5

This week I may seem late, but this is planned.

I am doing a combined message for two weeks

I am heading off to Baltimore for Otakon* on Thursday to do some
presentations and panels and so will not be able to do a posting later this
week.

As we do have one new title to report devoted to botany I am also listing
several older titles from the collection, all titles recommended by our
Reference Librarian Jo Falcon.

Drop by or head to your local library to check them out.
