🔴 Rare Book Cafe COFFEE BREAK No.87: Stand-Up Librarian prepares for Florida Antiquarian Book Fair


In this episode, co-hosts Lee Linn and Richard Mori enjoy a delightful time with friend and longtime supporter of the Florida Antiquarian Book Fair Meredith Myers, who is billed as the Stand-up Librarian in her life as an entertainer.

Meredith has been a regular exhibitor at the book fair for many years and has been associated with the event in various capacities, including serving as spokesperson.

Meredith exhibits at the book fair, showing and offering her book-related fashions and accessories. Meredith credits longtime exhibitor Edie Eisenstein with being her inspiration and encouraging her to begin producing her creative products.

Meredith invites those interested to her websites, stand-uplibrarian.com and meredithmyers.com to learn more about her offerings.

Richard comments about the dangerous wildfires in California and makes note that people in the biblio community should visit the ABAA website to learn more about the organization’s benevolent fund designed to help booksellers in dire circumstances.
