Greetings everyone. We apologize for the long delay in getting this eNewsletter out to you.

NEW MONTHLY MEETINGS!

The Anomaly Archives is now holding monthly meetings on the Fourth Saturday of most* months. The meetings will be held from 1-5pm on the fourth Saturday at the INACS / Anomaly Archives headquarters located in North West Austin just past the intersections of Research and Technology Boulevards (see bottom of email for detailed directions):

12593 Research Blvd., Suite 302,
Austin, Texas 78759

These meetings will be an opportunity for more of our Meetup members to come see the library first-hand. We are hoping many of you will be moved to become dues paying members so that you can not only read the books on-site but check-out books to take home and read at your leisure.

We’d like your help in making these monthly meetings as interesting and productive as possible. When we formed this online Meetup group we posted a couple of Online Polls for you to participate in. The vote tallies are below and reflect the voting results as of a couple days ago. Many of you are new to our group and we encourage you to participate and express your areas of interest regarding anomalies in general and future meetups in particular. For those of you who already filled out the polls, feel free to revisit them – perhaps your interests have changed since you first came to the group.
