Literary Orange

Orange County Public Library, along with the University of California, Irvine Libraries and the California Center for the Book, will once again present Literary Orange on April 5, 2008.

This celebration of authors and literature will feature best selling authors Elizabeth George and Janet Fitch as keynote speakers, Susan Vreeland and Marianne Wiggins in conversation and the top science fiction writers today: David Brin, Gregory Benford, Larry Niven and Vernor Vinge. The all-day affair will include panels of nonfiction, children’s/teens, and romance writers as well as Hollywood notables Stephen J. Cannell, John Gilmore, and Frank Thompson.

Registration is open and the $75.00 fee includes a lovely continental breakfast and a sit-down lunch. The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Garden Grove is the site for this memorable event and the guest authors’ books will be available for sales and signings throughout the day.

Be careful what you ask for!

WELCOME AUHSD Teacher Librarians;

Ask and you shall recieve. I have created a blog for the teacher librarians of the Anaheim Union High School District. At our meeting today we discussed ways to better communicate our ideas and discussions. This is a perfect forum for everyone to view and contribute to.

This will also give each of you a jump up if you decide to participate in the Library 2.0 program.

As you post make sure to give each posting a label so that our blogs are organized and searchable.
