I work for the Salt Lake City Public Library and these courses are extremely popular! But I always wait until they go on sale. They offer every course in their catalog at a sale price at least once each year.

Do any of you purchase them for your collections….they are often like 20 – ½ hour lectures…..lots of space taken up…. Just curious, Rhonda Rhonda Rosen| Head, Media & Access Services William H.
