I love libraries. And I’m always sorry when any library, especially ours here in Wilsonville, has to face budget cuts. The Wilsonville Library is a dream-brary for those who live here. They offer several storytimes a week for young children, a used bookstore, cheap magazines for resale (awesome for writer mamas!), art displays, a geneology research center, and so much more. Three cheers for the Wilsonville Library!
On Friday, March 2nd, from 5-7 p.m. the Wilsonville Library will celebrate 25 years of service to the community. I’ll try to be there before my husband’s Grease show that night, and if you live nearby, I hope you can make it too.
Coming soon, you’ll be able to show your support for the library by purchasing copies of Writer Mama there. True, you’ll have to pay the cover price with no discount. BUT, you’ll be supporting a great cause and you won’t have to wait for your “order” to be shipped. You can just swing by and pick one up.
They will be arriving soon. I’ll let you know when they get there.
In the meantime, lets all empty our penny jars into library donation collectors. Libraries may be free to local citizens but it takes dough to pay staff salaries, keep the lights on and, most importantly, add books to collections.
I just discovered you after posting on my blog a link to the Writers Digest contest. I’d written several posts about Writing in the Midst of Motherhood before I knew about you or the contest or your book, so I’m bummed–now I can’t use those particular thoughts in an essay. At any rate, I’m happy to have discovered your book and blog, and look forward to getting to know you better.
Most of all: Congratulations!
