Hi Robbie,

I was accepted into Columbia University, but it was more convenient 
and affordable to go to a state university (Connecticut).  I went as 
a full-time student, and did get a MLS.  At the same time I was in 
the program, I was taking as many undergraduate art courses as I 
could get.  I started doing bookbinding, then book arts, then 
collage, then printmaking, and for the past 9 years painting.  I've 
never worked in a library.  I did work for four months in the 
conservation studio in the Sterling Library at Yale.  I worked on 
some incredible books and manuscripts.  I loved it, but the pay was 
so low I couldn't afford the transportation to get there.  I went 
back to IT until I had the opportunity to retire early.

Best of luck to you.  Libraries are wonderful places!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
