[EBB Sightings] Correction

Hi, folks.
    Just a quick correction: the OBC meets at the
Rockridge branch of the Oakland Library (which happens
to be where I work), not the Montclair branch. They
usually meet on Thursdays (though the meetings are
occasional), but this time it is indeed on Wednesday.
They are, to my thinking, fun and informative
get-togethers.
Cheers,
Alan Howe
