Therefore, I am using this plat- form to address some issues that have come to my attention. Since the cost for out-of-town memberships to our Senior Center went up in January 2020, there have been a few miscon- ceptions that have come to my attention. First and foremost, the one rumor that I would definitely like to address is the story going around that the Prospect Town Council raised the dues of our out-of-town members because they are trying to “get rid” of the non-residents that come here. The story goes that the Town Council is trying to keep our Senior Center strictly for Prospect residents only. Nothing could be further from the truth. I value the out-of-town members who come here. I feel they have contributed significantly to the growth of our Senior Center. Many of these members run programs here and volun- teer in a number of different capacities. They are my lifeline and help me in ways that I could never repay them for. I and the Town Council members would never want to “get rid” of them. I will tell you point blank why the Town Council decided to raise membership dues for out- of-town members.

  • Preservation and Conservation Links
    Preservation and Conservation Online Resources for Training and Research AIC – American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works Why we like this site: AIC provides an excellent gateway to many different sources such as journal articles and publications; disaster response guides and resources (more on this later); and standards and guidelines for conservators. AIC also offers an assortment of workshops as well as online courses (we’ll have more on this later) and publishes the Journal of the American Institute for Conservation (see above). ALCTS – Association for Library Collections and Technical Services Why we like this site: Most of you are already familiar with the ALA’s various services and interest groups or sections, but we think it useful to take a look at ALCTS. This section of ALA offers a range of training opportunities and interest groups that focus on Preservation issues. Among these are: Lists/e-mail discussion groups: PADG – Preservation Administrators Discussion Group (aka Preservation Administrators Interest Group). The PADG listserv is an open forum focused on preservation issues. We sometimes use it to pose questions and often often find the topics timely and useful. The Digital Preservation list is also useful (although less active). PARS – Preservation and Reformatting Section “Contributes to library service and librarianship through encouragement, promotion of, and responsibility for those activities of ALCTS relating to the preservation and reformatting of library materials in all types of institutions; provides leadership in the application of new technologies to assure continued access to library collections.” CoOL – Conservation OnLine Why we like this site: CoOL provides access to a wealth of information about conserving a wide range of materials (audio-visual, electronic, wood, textiles and, of course, paper based material).

  • Scissors, Paste and Social Change: the Rhetoric of Scrapbooks of Women’S Organizations, 1875-1930
    SCISSORS, PASTE AND SOCIAL CHANGE: THE RHETORIC OF SCRAPBOOKS OF WOMEN’S ORGANIZATIONS, 1875-1930 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Amy L. Mecklenburg-Faenger, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Nan Johnson, Adviser Professor James Fredal Adviser Professor Kay Halasek English Graduate Program Copyright by Amy L. Mecklenburg-Faenger 2007 ABSTRACT In recent years, scholars in rhetoric and composition studies have focused increasingly more attention on “everyday” rhetorical practices, particularly those of marginalized groups, as well as the alternative educational sites where such practices are taught and learned. Feminist historians such as Anne Ruggles Gere, Jacqueline Jones Royster, and Wendy Sharer argue that women’s organizations functioned as significant sites of rhetorical education for women throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, an era in which women were denied access to higher education and public spheres of rhetorical activity. In “Scissors, Paste and Social Change: the Rhetoric of Scrapbooks of Women’s Organizations, 1875-1930,” I extend the focus on women’s organizations as educational spaces by examining the scrapbooks compiled by Progressive Era women in literary and social clubs and reform organizations like temperance and suffrage. I argue that progressive-era women appropriated the gendered genre of the scrapbook to compose vernacular histories of women’s reform efforts that situated women within a larger narrative of citizenship and national progress. Furthermore, I argue that scrapbooks served as sources of invention and self-education, similar in function to commonplace books, even though gendered perceptions of both genres typically assigns commonplace books to public rhetorical pursuits and scrapbooks ii to private domestic hobbies.

  • Quilling Tips from Denise
    Quilling Tips from Denise 1. I have always preferred to use a corsage pin for quilling; this gives you a tight center. For an extremely tight center a silk pin or finger roll without the use of a pin. A “perfect” spiral can only be made using a pin. The only time I do use a slotted tool is when making folded roses. 2. The strips should be torn not cut when making shapes. This permits the seam to blend in when glued. When the piece is shaped pinch the glued seam, this will make it less noticeable. Place the glued edges to the inside of your design further hiding the seam. Remember less glue is best. 3. Slightly moisten (touch your tongue to it) the end of the paper to make it easier to roll. If you find the pin too slippery very lightly sand the tip of the pin. Stay close to the end of the needle, keeping your edges lined up will give you a more even shape. I like to roll the paper with the rough side up. 4. To get tight centers roll the first few turns tight than loosen the tension as you roll. This comes with practice. Remove the roll from the pin before gluing. 5. A container of moistened towels is great in helping keep your fingers clean. 6. I prefer the look of hand cut fringing. The key is to make sure you cut with just the tip of your scissors (sharp) along the edge. After you have the “hang” of it start to cut closer to the middle of the scissors.

  • Cover to Cover: How People Bind Their Books
    0 Introduction There are as many ways to bind a book as there are types of books and types of readers. Before the Industrial Revolution, bookbinding was a separate trade from publishing, and many of the historic bindings that we see were bespoke products commissioned by their owners. This exhibition will cover different types of books, from miniature books to enormous folios, gold-stamped publishers' bindings to stab-stitched paper wrappers, treasured bibles to ephemeral almanacs, 19th-century marbled papers to 15th-century stamped leather, and more! Peer into the "guts" of historic bindings to see how they were constructed, from the bookbinder's craft to the print and manuscript waste hiding inside. 1 Discussion Topics 1. What do books mean to us? o Physical objects o Cultural artifacts o Windows to the world o Works of art o Social Connectors o Change agents 2. What is bookbinding? 3. Why do people bind their books? How have those reasons changed over time? 4. How do bookbindings reflect a book’s owner? Its content? 5. How has bookbinding changed through the ages / with advances in technology? 6. How would you bind your favorite book? 2 Resources: Videos: The Anatomy of a Book: https://youtu.be/DQyntYcGwik The Art of Bookbinding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVefTYSYd1Y All in a Bind: The Art of Bookmaking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf2PrB8m0BE Online Resources: Glossary of Bookbinding Terms: https://www.biblio.com/book_collecting_terminology/#letter-a 18th century Bookbinding process: http://umich.edu/~ece/student_projects/print_culture/bookbinding.html 19th Century Bookbinding: https://jeffpeachey.com/category/19th-century-bookbinding/ Tooling vs Stamping vs Embossing vs Blocking: https://www.adelaide.edu.au/library/special/exhibitions/victorian-bindings/cabinet3/ Historic Sugartown: https://www.neh.gov/humanities/2017/fall/curio/tools-the-bookbinding- trade-can-be-found-in-pennsylvania History of Binding.
