Any Teen/Adult fiction authors coming to your library soon?
by Klaudia Janek 17 Oct '18

17 Oct '18

I have a really great young man who is working on a semester long project of writing a choose your own adventure type book. He's in 10th grade. He has never seen an in-person author presentation. Part of his project is going to listen to a current fiction author (teen or adult). He totally missed out last night when Supriya Kelkar was at Bloomfield Township PL (because he didn't read my email). Is there any library who has an author scheduled in October or November and is within 30ish minutes of Rochester Hills? I would really appreciate the information. Thanks!

solutions for weeding and book sale leftovers
by Bob Barringer 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

Since Better World Books stopped taking our leftovers, we are left without a destination for our weeds and book sale leftovers. Has anyone found a one-stop solution? I'm open to recycling at this point. It is environmentally responsible. What I don't want is a piecemeal solution where people get to come a pick out a box of books at time, leaving me with 57 boxes of books after two weeks of waiting rather than the 62 I started out with. I have an overflowing book closet, and the book sale will render it unnoticeably less overflowing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
