News from MARIAB
In September, we held our quarterly meeting at the Phillips Library of the Peabody Essex Museum. Ann C. Pingree Director Sidney E. Berger offered a lively show & tell of some library treasures. After lunch, members toured the museum.
In December we met at The Culinary Arts
Museum at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI. After a
tour of their tasty exhibits, we had lunch in their diner area, heard a talk by director Richard Gutman & visited their library.
After
a considerable search, MARIAB is delighted to announce we will be
moving our spring show back to Boston! We have contracted with Boston University
to use their Track & Tennis Center at 100 Ashford Street, a
spacious, well-lit, attractive, ground-level facility with plenty of
parking & easy access by public transportation. The Boston
Antiquarian Book Fair will be Friday, April 30, 5-9 pm & Saturday,
May 1, 10 am - 5 pm, managed by Flamingo Eventz, featuring books,
ephemera, prints, maps, photography, autographs, &c. www.flamingoeventz.com for dealer info.
Our first meeting of 2010 will be on February 22, at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, on the Hampshire College campus in Amherst. A gallery tour will be followed by lunch & our annual meeting.
