DAPHNE PUBLIC LIBRARY

Our writing retreat in Fairhope, Alabama, evolved after I scheduled a library event at Daphne Public Library (which is just up the road).

Here I am with fabulous librarian and event organizer Louise Youngblood:


And here is Anne Morris, aka "The Library Police" who brought out the gloves for us to use while looking at one of the Gee's Bend books. (Isn't she adorable?!)



Here's a quilt for book-lovers that hangs on the library wall:


And last but certainly not least: here are some young readers and writers! Thanks so much for coming. xo

  2. It was such fun. Louise Youngblood is really so encouraging. I wish we had a librarian like her when I was growing up. I was amazed at the many young writers she encourages!

    Thanks for a lovely writing retreat. I got my 5 pages in!
