A great story today from @MPRnews on the CABS-Minnesota Diverse Voices Fellowship, including interviews with two of the 2022 fellows.
The rare and antiquarian books field has historically been dominated by white men, and difficult to enter for anyone without a prior connection. A new fellowship at a Minnesota rare book seminar is aimed at bringing more diverse voices into the industry.

Rob Rulon-Miller is at the podium for the annual CABS-Minnesota benefit auction. Bids have been strong.
Any confusions between our sale and that of the advertised Reese Sale on the screen next to Rob is entirely understandable.
It might not surprise you to learn that @briancassidy and @honeyandwaxbks have engaging and productive things to say about marketing your bookselling business.

Going back to our roots this week—Granary began as Origin Books, a shop in Minneapolis, MN in '81.
This week, @mckinniburgh + @ConleyLowrance will be at @BookSeminars to join in the fun.

On the ground in St. Paul! Drinking a “Minnesota Manhattan,” reading Michael Nelson’s savage novel of the English book trade, Knock or Ring (1957), in preparation for our session on auctions at #cabs2022 this week.
Another day, another reason to thank our scholarship donors—this is a shout-out to all our CABS Alumni who have annually given back to support other seminarians experience the seminar!

The countdown to CABS-Minnesota continues, and so does our gratitude for our scholarship support.
Today we thank @Bibliopolis — they build antiquarian bookseller websites, and they support two scholarships for the seminar.
They work hard for the book trade—and we thank them!
Our scholarship countdown in the week before CABS-Minnesota continues, with a shout-out today to @Biblio_com — funding both a scholarship and literacy education all in one fell swoop!

We thank them for their continued support.
Today’s note of thanks on the CABS-Minnesota broadside of scholarship donors:
The Between the Covers scholarship.
BTC has been deeply involved in the mission of the seminar for years—their annual scholarship is but one instance of support. Thank you!

We also thank the anonymous donors who commemorate two esteemed colleagues with CABS connections who each died too young — Soon Hood and Craig Harris.
The Hood-Harris Scholarship offers robust support to a bookseller to attend CABS-Minnesota.
