THE BEESWAX LIBRARY INITIATIVE---
We are currently in the
process of getting Beeswax Magazine into more local, national,
and international libraries, especially those with special
collections or book arts focuses. If you know of (or work
at) a library that should carry Beeswax, please contact
us at editors [at] beeswaxmagazine [dot] com with the
library's info.
