Re: [LM_NET] Discarded/altered books...

[Sara Kelly Johns <sarakellyjohns@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi, Deb et al--there is a gorgeous display right now
of altered books in the display case that is between
the library and the art room across the hall. The
"backbones" for those books were really ugly when they
crossed the hall as discarded books ;-).

It's a great way to make art teachers and their
creative students happy.

Best, Sara Kelly Johns
