WORKSHOPS

As of this morning, space was still available in each of the two workshops

RECEPTIONS

The preconference will open on Wednesday evening with a reception at the
renowned Newberry Library, an architectural as well as intellectual
landmark in Chicago. On Thursday evening, a buffet reception will be held
at the Chicago Historical Society in its historic Lincoln Park setting.  On
Friday evening, a gala closing reception sponsored by the Antiquarian
Booksellers Association of America will be held at the Columbia College
Chicago Center for Book and Paper Arts in conjunction with a book fair and
demonstrations of hand bookbinding, papermaking, and printing.


ACCOMMODATIONS

The preconference hotel will be the Inter-Continental, a deluxe landmark
hotel located on the Magnificent Mile. (It is also an ALA Conference
hotel.) The hotel's historic South Tower, originally built in1929 as the
private, men-only Medinah Athletic Club, was commissioned by the Medinah
Nobles, an affiliate of the Shriners with purported roots in the Middle
East. Its exotic design reflects these presumed origins: a gold onion dome
adorns the top and Assyrian and Egyptian figures carved by Leon Harmart
(1866-1936) grace the facade. Appropriately, given the preconference theme,
the hotel's meeting spaces offer an visually entertaining array of design
schemes, ranging from an English Tudor Hall to a Spanish Tea Court to a
5-story Stair Hall of Lions. More information about the hotel and its
amenities is available at http://chicago.interconti.com/index.html. The
cost of hotel accommodations is not included in the Preconference
registration fee. A special conference rate has been arranged for RBMS
Preconference attendees. Preconference reservations for the Hotel
Inter-Continental must be made through the ALA Travel Desk.
