BRATS MEETINGS TO REMAIN AT RANDALLSTOWN FOR NOW …
August 27, 2007 by kb3ljm.
From Mayer:
According to the main library meeting room department, (officially called The Inter-Library Loan department- although I can’t imagine why)… although the renovations of the Pikesville Library are complete, the renovation of the meeting room is not…. I was told to call back during October, which I will do. Unless and until you hear otherwise, here or on the BRATS home page, BRATS meetings continue at the Randallstown Library, 8604 Liberty Road at Old Court Road in Randallstown. We are planning to go back to Pikeville as soon as it is available. You can avoid Liberty Road traffic by taking Rolling Road or Old Court Road rather than Liberty Road…
