Thanks to those of you who bought used books to support our library, and thanks to those of you who ran the table! The library made $85 dollars!
I was "next door" at the California Writer's table - there are so many great local writers, and last night I got to learn about more! Three different people told me about authors who live in Fresno or Clovis. If you like picture books, you might want to check out Amy Dixon's Marathon Mouse or Sophy's Animal Parade. If you like cooking or Fresno history, Janice Stevens has Cooking With Saroyan with is filled with recipes, watercolors, and stories. A few folks were surprised to know that one of our authors is really local. Dorina Lazo Gilmore, author of Cora Cooks Pancit, has children who attend Kepler. Thanks for talking to me about local authors! We'll look at California Writers again in a couple of weeks, when it's officially time to celebrate. In the meantime, if you think of someone I might have missed, I'd love to hear about it!

We somehow missed your table last night, so I don't know if you already have her on your radar, but my dear friend Kasie West lives in Clovis and is a Young Adult author. Her novel + sequel Pivot Point and Split Second are so fun! I'd love to donate a copy of each to the Kepler Library when you're ready for them!
