Fantastic program! I always go back to my library to make sure I have everything you've talked about and I'm proud that only a few fall through the cracks. Congratulations on the full room! Everyone loved it! I made sure to put on my evaluation that you need a big room the next time you present. I certainly look forward to it every year!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I always love presenting and talking about books. And I couldn't believe the group-made me feel very loved! :)
