     Librarians, do you know how to make your books and materials last
     as long as your patrons need them?  Do you want to learn how to
     stretch the value of your materials budget over a longer period?
     Plan to attend

        Caring For Your High-Use Collections,

     a SOLINET workshop hosted by the Central Florida Library
     Consortium in Maitland, Florida, on Monday, September 25, 1995.

     This workshop is designed for public, school and college
     librarians, and will discuss approaches and techniques to help
     you keep your collections in usable condition longer.  Topics to
     be covered include preservation as a management tool, the
     environment, fostering good attitudes about books, teaching
     proper handling to staff and public, treatment options, and
