What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

City of Plano Libraries










Today after watching the ALA Youth Media Awards and meeting some folks from Beaver, PA who are authors and illustrators and who I am totally going to have at my library, I visited the City of Plano Libraries...all of them!
First about the folks I met. They are from Midlandia Press and the guys are Michael Scotto (he's holding Lobster) and Dion Williams; Michael is an author and Dion is an illustrator. The young lady is Evette Gabriel Villella. They were incredibly nice and kind and I am looking forward to reading their books! The book Postcards from Pismo, written by Scotto and illustrated by Williams, had its debut release at The Penguin Bookshop in Sewickley.
On to Plano....Plano seems to take very good care of its libraries. They are all open seven days a week and I witnessed a lot of great patron service there. Good times!
