Like you, when I visited NY a couple of years ago, my husband and I beelined to the library, I posed for pictures with the lions, and then I went to the Children's Library. I think they had STAMPEDE, my only trade title out at that time, but it was checked out. (I'll have to ask my husband, whose memory is much better than mine.) It was wonderful to just sit in the room and soak up the hallowed presence. Can't wait to read this! laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148996926638164819.post-23294980549215415432013-03-18T16:41:49.469-07:002013-03-18T16:41:49.469-07:00Hi Loree, I so enjoyed reading about your book'...Hi Loree, I so enjoyed reading about your book's connection to your local librarian. I laughed at your first sentence: "I’ve decided to treat my book release the same way I treat my birthday." And, of course, this is lovely: "So, thank you, Terry Turner, for being the sort of librarian who can dash into the stacks and always come back with the right book." Thanks for stopping by and also for sharing your children's librarian story.Jeanne Walker Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12482720655596575796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148996926638164819.post-2177521535953651722013-03-18T15:04:30.326-07:002013-03-18T15:04:30.326-07:00Hi Jen, You're welcome and thanks for hosting ...Hi Jen, You're welcome and thanks for hosting Nonfiction Monday today!

The former children's librarian in one of my local libraries, Ms. Terry Turner, realized before I did that what I really wanted to write was a 'Scientists in the Field' books. She is the reason I pitched Tracking Trash to the SITF editors at Houghton Mifflin so many years ago!

I am old enough to remember that the librarians didn't want me checking out 'adult' books-such cranky people. My mother especially went to tell them it was okay!
