[Libri] a rich series of book-related events to start the new season

[Jim Wald (Hampshire College Center for the Book)]

  All:

Welcome back to the rhythms of the "regular" year (academic or other) 
after what I hope was both a pleasant and a productive summer.  There is 
lots of new energy for the strengthening of book-related activity here 
in the Valley.

Here is the beginning of what is shaping up to be a rich season of events.

Jim
