Hi All -
Wow - We had 30 inches of snow at my house. Couldn't (or didn't want to) get out of my driveway today. Read the Michael Printz award winner - How I Live Now by Meg Rossoff - very impressive. Also currently reading The Faery Wars which is an action-packed adventure. We did the Michael Drout lecture with standinf room only. He was his usual great self. I think this has to be annual, as he is so inspirational a lecturer. Next year maybe I'll ask him to talk again about the Great Vowel Shift and the whole obsession Tolkien had with language.......
I'm looking into getting someone to come and talk to us about a powerful topic again. Similar to having the Socrates Cafe like we had last year..... What do you all think?
