We’re watching “Cartoon College” before this Thursday’s meeting….
…6:00 pm at our *new* usual meeting place: room L2 at the Cambridge Public Library. Our *new* regular meeting place has a screen and projector, so we’ll watch the documentary “Cartoon College,” made a few years ago about the Center for Cartoon Studies. 75 minutes long, so the regular meeting will start at 7:30. Come, watch, meet!

Weekly Meeting Tomorrow, SPX, Best Wishes to Schulz Library
Join us tomorrow night at 7:30pm at the Democracy Center (map) in Harvard Square for our weekly meeting in the Nelson Mandela Room.
In other news, several BCR members will be at SPX in Bethesda, MD this weekend. Good luck, guys!
Our hearts also go out to the folks at the Center for Cartoon Studies Schulz Graphic Novel Library in White River Junction, VT. They were flooded by Hurricane Irene, and the community has pulled together to save the books (headed by BCR friends/Schulz Librarians Jen Vaughn and Caitlin McGurk and including BCR members Laurel Leake and Jesse Lonergan). Read on below, and if you’d like to help, you can make a donation to the Center for Cartoon Studies.
