I had loads of fun!

Wow!

It is so intricate! And precise! And neat! And I can't draw a straight line with a ruller so I am in total awe here!

That is so cool. *envy*

Well, the board shear (oversized paper cutter) has a square on it, so that part wasn't really hard. But thank you. :-)

You should come up with a way for your Library to pay for you to come to an SI class next year :-)

Our paper cutter has a grid on it - I has still ended up with stuff at non-ninty degree angles...

I am not good at some things.

It isn't really related to my job though. I can get them to pay for library conferences, or for workshops involving anything computers.

It's almost like what the person who repairs our books does...

Plus it is smack in the middle of out summer reading program - there is no way I could be gone every day for a week.

Ours has an actual slid-able square, so two edges are covered for.

We did book-conservation; that's what the boxes for.

Bummer :-(

If we did a mini-seminar on conservation specifically, maybe?
