Remember the post on September 22 about my ALA profile change not sticking the first time?

Another way for you folks from South Africa to follow up on the ideas from last week’s preconference is to attend Five Weeks to a Social Library, a FREE online class that will take place between February 12 and March 17, 2007 and will be limited to forty participants.
