It's the library.When I was a little kid, I don't remember
going to book stores, but I do remember going to libraries. Every
week, without fail, browsing the shelves, borrowing books, discovering
new worlds. I never gave much thought to how such a place could exist,
why such a place would exist. It was just the library. Of course it
was there. It even had a great theme song.
This
year, National Library Week (April 11-17) celebrates the theme
"Communities thrive @ your library." I've had the privilege of
spending quite a bit of time the last few years in libraries,
participating in library programs, chatting with librarians and with
library patrons.
If it's been a while since you've visited your local public library, this would be a great time to renew the acquaintance.
I have three library events this month. If you're in the area, I hope you'll come by and say hello.
April 14 - Meet the Authors, at the
Free Public Library of Monroe Township, Williamstown, NJ
April 18 -
Free Library Festival (Philadelphia Book Festival), Philadelphia, PA
April 24 - Mastering the Art of Suspense, at the
Monmouth County Library, Manalapan NJ

Folks tell me that my blog address is cumbersome, that it's hard to spell and even harder to remember. They may very well be right. Although it's derived from the title of my first mystery, even I can recognize that it's not a user-friendly address. So this page will contain selected entries from that blog. Each entry will include a link back to the original post. Use the link to read comments about the post and to add your own.
