There's A Dragon in the Library book cover
Friends:
Not long ago, I announced a contest: Send me a picture of a dragon or castle in your favorite library (school or public) and win a signed copy of my new book, There’s A Dragon in the Library illustrated by Marita Gentry as well as a signed copy of the sketched dummy. We have another winner! Woo hoo! Drumroll….
Emma Shroth, State Library of Louisiana in the Talking Books and Braille Library is our winner! Yay Emma!
Here is what Emma said, “This was taken at the State Library of Louisiana’s Talking Books and Braille Library. It features 2 dragons (and one baby dragon) listening to Brisingr by Christopher Paolini on digital audio cartridge on our new digital talking book machine. The dragons are surrounded by some large print dragon books with a beautiful dragon backdrop. I am the Children and Teen Services Librarian for the Talking Books and Braille Library. I serve children and teens across the Louisiana who are blind, visually impaired, physically disabled, and reading disabled with materials in special formats – Braille, audio books, large print books, Big Books and descriptive videos.”
This is Emma’s picture:

Congratulations, Emma! There will definitely be ANOTHER dragon in your library with my new book on the way!
Until next time…
Warmly, Dianne

This what Lisa said: “These pictures are of the mural in our Children’s Department. The castle surrounded by bricks is our elevator! We never tire of looking at it and our kids thoroughly enjoy finding all the woodland creatures scattered throughout!”
