Congratulations, Terry Belanger and Rare Book School
September 22nd, 2005
My news queue is so long at this point that I fear that I will never have time to catch up. But, j’s post prompted me to mention a few important things.
As I am assuming most of you know, Terry Belanger, the founder and director of Rare Book School, was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship this week. I heard the good news as soon as I arrived at work on Tuesday and was very excited to read about it on the RBS website.
Rare Book School has received many well-deserved honors this year. In June RBS received an IMLS grant to fund 50 scholarships for the upcoming year. So, if you have never been to Charlottesville, would like to learn about rare books and the book arts, and want to meet the “genius in residence”, you should consider applying for a scholarship. The application deadline is October 1.
And, since I am writing about RBS, I would also like to thank everyone there for helping me have an enjoyable and educational time in Charlottesville last March and the previous August. In the better-late-than-never category, I hope to finish posting my March dispatches to this blog soon.

Just wanted to let you know I came across this blog today and think it’s really cool. My blog is about cooking but I like books too:-)

Thanks, Cooking Dude! I checked out your blog and really enjoyed it. It just so happens that while my blog is about books, I like cooking too–especially baking :-)
