[Sca-cooks] Donating books to libraries, was Re: Cookbook Collection Going to Penn...a question...

[Susan Fox]

Ah, that clears things up a bit. No, I meant the city system. Their 
recently-retired head of the Business Library has mentioned the 
collection needing contributions recently, but I'll confirm with her 
when I see her next, in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure what the 
Business Library has to to with cookbooks, apart from Billie being a 
foodie, but it's all good.

The next few CHSC events:
*
UPCOMING EVENT FOR THE CULINARY HISTORIANS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA*

    public. Monthly programs take place at the beautiful Mark Taper
    Auditorium at the Los Angeles Central Library, Mark Taper
    Auditorium, downtown central branch, at 630 W. 5^th St.

*Saturday, October 11, 2008 10:30 a.m.*

... which means, I guess I bail out of GWW right after Saturday's war 
court. I wonder what Charles wants for post-meeting refreshments?

And their branch coverage overlaps.  The City Library did indeed have a reasonable cookbook collection at their main branch before the fire.  Do talk to their librarians to make sure that the library as a whole still wants to replace their lost collection.
