If you know me, you know that I like books a little bit. I form little forts of them around me wherever I sit. Gift and a curse, I assure you. Reading a lot of the books tends to make it a little embarrassing when you go over someone’s house for the first time, because you have to obsessively scan the shelves while trying to engage in witty banter. The whole shebang’s an ordeal. However, you can go to libraries and stare at the books and no one can tell you from the homeless people. Designer Valeri Madill has created a nice color coding system for libraries, and methinks it would do a lot more for the Carnegie than the cafe section, or whatever it is.

You might get a kick out of my new book, ZOE LUCKY and the Green Gables’ Mystery. It is set in Oakland (the cultural suburb of the ‘Burgh). Zoe is 13 years old and she isn’t happy about moving to Oakland. However, while solving the Green Gables’ Mystery, she attends class at the Afrcian Heritage Room in the Cathedral of Learning, tours the Carnegie Library and pets the buffalo standing in the Native American center and eats a chipped ham sandwich in the cafe’.
Of course, she falls in love with Oakland.
She also solves the Green Gables’ mystery.
I’d be glad to send you a copy, if you would put in a good word to the Carnegie Library of Oakland to display my book.
Thanks.
