Jean Mills has graciously offered to be the Librarian and keeper of the videotape copies of NWBS meetings. While there are a limited number available, each is an excellent source of information about bead history and the uses of beads. Jean lives in the Northgate area, and her phone number is 206-527-2313. Call to arrange to borrow a video.
