Dear Faithful Readers,
Colldv-l postings will be erratic over the next couple weeks
as the moderator undergoes much needed annual maintenance.
Your homework during the hiatus (and beyond) is to write some library
haikus. Here are few from our colldv-l past to warm the creative
ovens. Have some 5/7/5 fun. Will post anon. as requested.
Please put 'haiku' in the subject line.
Best,
John for CollDv-L
