It's back-to-school time, and usually we'd host a few Crafternoons so you can get organized and decorate your own planner/agenda or notebook. Since we're 80% online this semester, we won't be hosting face-to-face events, but we do have some opportunities for you to still get organized for the new semester with a fresh Durham Tech planner, begin your pandemic diary, or take notes for your new
