Beads, Bulbs, and Books: Bringing Home and Garden into the Library (Booklist Webcast on 12/07/2010)

Stitching in the sewing room, digging in the garden, looking information up in the library—these activities are often closely related for book-oriented home gardeners and crafters. If you find inspiration from yarn and paper, if you inhale wholesomeness while seeding and weeding, and if you take comfort from gathering instructive advice by experts (or, of course, if selecting books for your library on either subject is your fond duty), then this webcast on crafts and gardening is for you. Join crafts expert and Booklist reviewer Tina Coleman, Kansas City Public Library readers’ advisory librarian Kaite Mediatore-Stover, and representatives from Storey Publishing; Creative Publishing, a division of the Quayside Publishing Group; and Wiley Publishing to learn about what’s new in crafts and gardening books and how those books are used in the public library.
