One of my favorite projects!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-86439690245172320852012-01-19T13:07:21.800-06:002012-01-19T13:07:21.800-06:00Lesa, that sounds great.

I wish our libraries were a bit more innovative.<br /><br />Having said that, I have just requested a ticket (free) for an author evening at my nearest branch library at Gullane. It is for a writer called Caro Ramsay, I believe she writes mysteries - although the branch doesn't actually have any of her books! They say they have sent out an urgent plea to the other branches to send over any they have. I thought it would be fun, plus it has the adde It d advantage of being only 2 miles away, which in the bleak midwinter is quite a consideration for me. It is scheduled for the first week of February.<br /><br />RosemaryRosemarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-6274063151294974382012-01-19T10:40:27.558-06:002012-01-19T10:40:27.558-06:00Welcome back, Rosemary!

I do one a quarter for staff, and one for the public. They bring their lunch and eat while I talk about 15 recent books. Then, they can check them out afterward, if they'd like.<br /><br />When I do it for the public, they can bring lunch, and I provide water, coffee & cookies.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-16686560163885248812012-01-19T10:36:27.308-06:002012-01-19T10:36:27.308-06:00What is a brown bag luncheon?
