This Week is Mostly About Books

First, Paula Poundstone will be appearing at the Lyric Theatre in Stuart on Thursday, January 21st for two shows. One at 6 and the second at 8:30. You might know her from the NPR news quiz program "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me". I'm not going to rewrite all her PR stuff here. You can "google" her or look her up on Facebook. But the Lyric Theatre in Stuart doesn't have a presence on Facebook. I wonder why? But I digress. Paula is also the national spokesperson for ALTAFF which means The Association of Library Trustees Advocates Friends & Foundations. Since I am NOW president of the Friends of the Blake Library in Stuart, INC., I am now also an ALTAFF member. (Our Friends group belongs.) Paula will be selling her book (There's nothing in this book I meant to say) and her CDs. Because she's an advocate and spokesperson, she's sharing the proceeds of book and CD sales with the Friends groups. So, I want you to come to the event and buy a book or a CD. Got it?

Then, Friday night I'll be at the Blake Library, yet again, but this time to enjoy a little Latin music, food and libation at the Foundation's annual party - this year the theme is Hot Havana Nights! before Bookmania on Saturday. Bookmania is an awesome event. The Blake Library hosts 25 well-known authors who talk about their work in a variety of contexts. For more information, go to: library.martin.fl.us. Details are available. Oh, by the way, Saturday is FREE!

Friday Bob and I will be Literary Escorts hosting an author. I guess we'll have to behave and not embibe too much. Hummmm...
