Last June, I returned to our small town North Judson library as a guest author and speaker to help mark the Centennial Celebration of our prized Carnegie Library building.
This sturdy structure of bricks, bookshelves and cover to cover and page by page escape for minds, both young and old, is the library of my youth, primarily once I reached middle school and adolescence.However, there is also an even smaller one-room library in our San Pierre hometown just down the road which ranks as the first library of my memories, and it is still in operation today.
One of the popular book series my siblings and I loved to read were all of the “Little House on the Prairie” books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. While we also loved the television series on NBC inspired by the books, the written accounts and details were always richer and more descriptive. “The night it started, six people joined and we all hit it off. Three years later, and the book club is still going strong. Two of the ladies in the book club and I have connected and decided to meet up and start traveling to events. One of the events was the Merrimack Halloween Book Festival in Haverhill, Massachusetts. This festival was originally started by Christopher Golden, a horror writer. Not only did he want to help his local library but also help promote up and coming authors.
“I met with Christopher Hawkins and Shawnna Deresch, we all came up with a date, and this new Beyond the Book Festival started to come to life. The Starke County Public Library wants to make this an annual event, and we are completely excited about bringing a new idea to this small community.”
