A bag full of books

Mjocelyn340peach_hill_new_ A is for Author and B is for a Bag full of Books which means C is for a Cheerful Christy! On Wednesday night, I attended Oshawa Public Libraries' A is for Author launch. The branches will be holding a festival of children's authors during November, with 18 Canadian authors visiting schools and library branches to read to children and teens and talk about the writing process. To celebrate the launch, some of those attending got prizes. Mine was a bag full of books by author Marthe Jocelyn, which means I now have five new books to read. Hey, children's and teen's books are some of the best reading around. If you want to know more about A is for Author, go to www.oshawalibrary.on.ca.

Comment Guidelines

  • We welcome comments but we ask that you observe our guidelines. We like readers who are prepared to stand by their comments by offering their 'real' first and last name - it adds validity to your comments. Stick to the topic and keep it clean. Personal attacks on individuals, bad language and unsubstantiated rumours have no place here. It's OK to be edgy, but if you're going to engage in name-calling and boorish behaviour take it elsewhere in cyberspace. And forget about posting under multiple IDs from the same IP address -- you'll get banned. Full Guidelines.
