My last day in Texas…at least this month. I’m at Chisholm Trail Middle School in Rhome with librarian with Pam Kemp and her son Tyler. I wonder how many Chisholm Trail Schools there are across the country? I know I’ve been to several of them. Clear day here in the […]
I’m at Medlin Middle School today with librarian Margaret Wallace speaking to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. A bit foggy and damp in the Ft. Worth area this morning, at least where I’m staying. Reminds me of Portland, but it looks like it’s going to burn off quickly. Good students […]
I’m in a nice Marriott with a panoramic view of a golf course with brown fairways. I suspect they must green them up sometime during the year. Because of my unusually early arrival yesterday I had the luxury of writing most of the day. Up again this morning at 4 […]
Gotta love flying… Spent Sunday in Bentonville with my daughter. Took my oldest grandson to Avatar 3D… Very cool BTW. Woke up 3:30AM to catch a flight to DFW via Memphis (not the most direct way to get from Arkansas to Texas). I get an email saying the airplane was […]
I spoke at a dinner last night at Harding U. without a “net” meaning no Power Point, which was fun. The talk was greatly helped by the librarians and teacher’s good humor. I love gift baskets. Thanks! Today I’m doing three more programs today then heading over to Bentonville. I […]
I’m at CAC today near Little Rock with 5th grade teacher Angie Diles speaking to 3rd thru High School students in yet another beautiful auditorium. Outstanding students with thoughtful questions. And Angie is a dynamo of energy. Gotta love the quote below over the urinal. On my way to Harding […]
Up at 4AM writing (as I have been everyday for the past week) trying to get a draft of this novel finished… I’m in Hot Springs, Arkansas all day with librarian Ramona Abernathy at Hamilton Lake Intermediate speaking to 4th and 5th graders. Like all the other librarians in Hamiliton, […]
Today I spoke to students at Lake Hamilton High, Jr. High, and Middle School in their beautiful High School auditorium. Their fabulous librarians Lori Bush, Jil’Lana Heard, and Jana Dutton could not have been nicer or better prepared. The students had great questions and had clearly read a number of […]
I’m in Hot Springs, Arkansas the next three days. Today I am with the very kind Tanna Clark, Library Media Specialist at Lakeside Middle School, speaking to 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students. Hot Springs is about an hour and a half south of Little Rock and is the boyhood […]
I was at two schools today in Cabot, Arkansas near Little Rock. Southside Elementary with Melissa Wilson where I spoke to K thru 4th grade. And Cabot Middle School South with Stephanie Collins speaking to 5th and 6th grade. Both wonderful schools with outstanding librarians. I’ve fallen right back into […]
