   Thank you!

   Barbara Johns was a librarian. I believe she would love to know that you're supporting your local library.

   If you are in Virginia, I'd think my book is in your library. If not, get them to order it! There are schools in VA that assign it.

     Thank you. I have now learned that when books are not checked out, libraries eventually purge them. I found this heartbreaking. When I was young and naive I thought being in a library meant for the ages!!

     I love when people check out my books.

     After the book came out, I was invited to talk to schools and museums in Virginia. The funny part is that when I was researching the book, I was knocking on doors and begging people to talk to me. Now they were asking ME to talk.

     Anyway, the photo I used on the front, of the students. Elderly people came to me, pointed to the cover, and said, "That was me in 1951."

     @Teri_Kanefield @chrisod So cool about the photo!

     I just checked and our local library system has the book, even as an ebook, so I now have it on my kindle next in the queue.

     @Teri_Kanefield @chrisod How wonderful to have written a book that is assigned reading for schools!
