Dianne,
My love of books was also nourished by a library in New Orleans – as a young child I spent many magical hours in the Latter Library on St. Charles Avenue! Then I grew up to be a children’s librarian and sell children’s books for Barefoot Books.
We met at the ALA conference in Anaheim, CA in 2008 after I attended your awesome presentation there. I have loved following you through your blog and newletters.
Hope our paths cross again!
Eve
The Barefoot Librarian

Good Afternoon,

I live in Fresno, but work in Lemoore as a site manager for a Tribal TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) office on the Santa Rosa Rancheria. I am not a tribal employee, but work for Owens Valley Career Development Center. We have a caseload of young, Native American families that we have 5 years to help with cash assistance and prevention services so they may become self
sufficient and no longer rely on government assistance. One of the ways we do this is by providing educational workshops, events, programs and activities. I’m putting together a Native Parent Summit 9/17 – 9/18, and am working with local educators, as well as other partners. I was following up with Wey Wyrick when I somehow stumbled across your name and blog, and thought how great it would be to bring someone that grew up in the area to speak with our families and get them motivated and excited about reading with their children. I’m not sure where you live now, but am sure you are very busy from looking at your blog. Respond at your earliest convenience and maybe we can work something out next time you’re in the area visiting.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Julian G. Garza

Great recap, Dianne! Loved seeing all the pics! It was a spectacular experience. I’ve blogged about the week too at my live journal site and will do a follow-up blog attaching other author’s National SCBWI experiences. I’ll send word when it’s posted.
