Watch here for details about our
programs for 2010-2011. First Saturday Programs
First Saturdays are
held at 10:00 AM in Room 105 (Rare Books and Manuscripts Department) at the Thompson
Library at Ohio State University. Smith, who heads Rare Books and Manuscripts at OSU, has been holding these programs in the Rare Books room (and then in their temporary headquarters on Kenny Road) for a number of years. This is much to the delight of Aldus members who are able to experience once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to see, touch, and discuss the many interesting holdings in OSU's collections.
With the re-opening of the newly-renovated library, these programs will be
held in the Thompson Library on campus, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Special
Collections Reading Room (room 105) on the first floor.
Saturday, August 7, 2010 --
When was the last time you spent a whole Saturday visiting many of the used book
stores in Columbus? Several Aldus members who own book stores (and several
others who aren't Aldus members) have invited Aldus members and their guests to
spend the day at their shops searching for treasured tomes. Here's your chance
to browse them with friends and enjoy a lunch together along the way.
RSVP: If you let us know which points in the
crawl you think you may join us, we'll be able to plan more accurately, but if
you want to just show up, that's fine too. This link to Google Maps shows directions to each stop with suggestions for parking. Car pooling encouraged (Debra will find you a "ride," if you need it).
