I suggested to a librarian that it might go well in the little makerspace that is located on the ground floor of our library.

It's great to see the children enjoying the SG3.
ReplyDeleteI love that particular typewriter. Got to love those kids too.

ReplyDeleteHace 35 años, una SG3 me ató a la Máquina de Escribir. Magnífico!
