Archiving tip: Proper historic preservation requires photographing all transparencies against the most fun backgrounds possible.

Today our Librarian Gary Esmonde and the Holden Arboretum Librarian Catherine Wells presented to public librarians on ways that our libraries can serve their patrons. Highlights include lending through public libraries (Arboretum) and helping with botanical reference questions (both). Thanks to Northeast Ohio Regional Library System (NEO-RLS) for hosting.
