In an upcoming book about Libraries I mention a Public Library right on the border of USA and Canada. Built in 1901. A line on the floor in the kids' area marks the int. border. How cool is that? Today the US Government closed that gorgeous library that serves several communities. Tragic.

Just picked up the biography called Walt Disney by Bob Thomas. Well written. I'm learning so much about Disney and how he struggled and persevered. He believed in his own creations - as a writer I am encouraged. What are you reading?
