[Steppes] Open Library, Tonight! (Wednesday) -- carpool!

[Diane Rudin]

Dear folk of the Steppes,

Master Robin and Mistress Serena are pleased to host Open Library
Night the second Wednesday of every month.

This month that means tonight, Wednesday, June 11th. 

We realize that gas prices are atrocious.  Please consider arranging
carpools with others in your area.  It's high time to once again be 
thinking and planning like we're all broke college students. 

Library hours will be 7:00 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Come to read!  Come to research!  Come to learn about Society,
Ansteorran, and Steppes history as well as non-Society history!  
Come just to visit with friends!

We have an extensive collection of books, including: 
 
fencing and military history, 
facsimiles of period fencing manuals, 
calligraphy & illumination, 
costume & fashion, 
embroidery, 
history (specializing in English Renaissance and American
Revolution),
poetry, 
science & mathematics, 
fiction (mainly science fiction and fantasy), 
heraldry, 
some music and theatre (including Commedia), 
legal history, 
Classical and foreign languages, 
a Latin Vulgate and a Greek New Testament,
and an Oxford English Dictionary.  

The Annex contains the infamous Comic Book Fort, consisting of 24
long-boxes of comic books (mainly Marvel and DC, plus a complete
Elfquest), with an additional 50-100 collections and graphic novels
on the shelves.

We also have a near-complete collection of Black Stars, going back
to the first of the kingdom.

This is not a lending library, so bring note paper or your laptops.

(You do NOT need to bring pens.  We have LOTS of pens.)

Allergy warning:  we do have a cat.

Use your favorite online mapping gizmo to locate us at:

7135 Vinland St.
Dallas, TX  75227-1829

214-663-2326 (Serena's cell) 

Please note that the online mapping gizmos are not totally accurate
-- they ALL come up with a house halfway down the block from us. 
Once you are on Vinland, go by the numbers posted on the houses,
not the online "street view".  Look for the house in the middle of
the block with a rose garden including a small statue of St. Francis.

Please be careful when crossing the construction zone around our
neighborhood -- the road is torn up, and if you're not careful,
your car will be, too.
