Library Cruise


Rawlings Library in Pueblo –Photo from waymarking.com

I spent much of last year begging people to listen to programs I’d slaved over for months.  I got a few takers here and there.  Then I got my foot in the door with half a dozen libraries and the Colorado Springs Senior Center, and life is good!

This year I let their schedulers know I’m rolling out my Whales presentation, and I’ve got five speaking date just like that.  I’ve always appreciated libraries—Steve says I’ve never seen a library tax I didn’t like—but now I am profoundly grateful to libraries, not only for speaking ops but for so many of the materials that provide information I’m excited to share. Mega thanks to all my hosts and audience members!  See my schedule below for a good time.
