Author Event Recap

Thank you to all 87 of you who came out to see Maureen Johnson, Libba Bray, Cassie Clare, and Robin Wasserman last night. We had a blast and it was so great to see so many people excited about YA books in one room! Some great pics can be found over at WestportNow and I've posted some of my own below. If you have some of your own that you would like to share, please email them to me!

Kurt Vonnegut

Kurt Vonnegut died today at the age of 84. I feel strange about this because just two days ago, I was recommending books to a patron who said that she had never read any Vonnegut. I handed her Breakfast of Champions (my personal favorite) and was so excited that she would have the pleasure of reading his work for the first time.

As Simple As... March!

As I've mentioned in this blog before, I am totally obsessed with Greg Galloway's As Simple As Snow. I've tried to get everybody I know to read it. I need people to discuss it with, since the book is about a mystery that is never solved. And guess what? Greg Galloway is coming to the Westport Library on Monday, March 26th!!!
