Borås After Dark
(actually because of the northern latitude, most of these events took place during the long evening twilight)

Receptions and visits to pubs after the conference hours at the May 27-29, 2001 Conference on Libraries in times of utopian thoughts and social protests in Borås, Sweden.

Another view of the participants after hours

Notice the large glasses of Beer as the photographer is toasted with "skoal"

Apparently it is a Swedish custom to continue toasting until all pictures are taken

Magnus and Don enjoying the "schnapps" singing reception.

College Library.

Not all after hour sessions were held in pubs. Here is Terry
visiting the Textile Museum observing the patterns that were
the model for the early punch cards and paper tape used in computers

Another evening was spent at The Library Museum in Boras.

Below is Ingemar Rosberg, the curator in the Museum. For
