Please note-
The original email did not include a mailing address for sending in payment.
Checks should be made payable to Colby College Libraries
and should be sent to:
Lorie McLeod
5108 Mayflower Hill
Miller Library
Waterville, ME 04901
Although it is easier for accounting to have checks in advance,
bringing a check to the event is also acceptable.
Registration should still be completed via email as indicated in the
original email.
The information at:
http://www.maine.gov/infonet/meetings/LibraryDirectors.shtml has been
updated to reflect this new information.
Apologies for any confusion this omission might have caused!
-James
