Authors for Literacy 2022 was a triumph! Finally, after several delays and date changes, we could enjoy an evening with Delia Owens. Her keynote was terrific!
She also spent time doing a Q&A and signed copies of Where the Crawdads sing for folks.
The Fund-A-Need auction raised over $37,000! If you were there, THANK YOU! There is still time to contribute!
