Friends of the Washington County Public
Library
Welcomes all Friends to their monthly meeting Thursday,
February 7th, 2013, from 12:00-1:00pm, at the
Blue Lake Community Center.
Everyone is encouraged to attend!
Nancy Springer has passed the fifty-book
milestone, having written that many novels for adults, young adults and
children, in genres including mythic fantasy, contemporary fiction, magical
realism, horror, and mystery -- although she did not realize she wrote mystery
until she won the Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America two
years in succession.
DARK LIE, recently released from NAL, is her first venture into mass-market psychological suspense.
DARK LIE, recently released from NAL, is her first venture into mass-market psychological suspense.
Born in
Montclair, New Jersey, Nancy Springer moved with her family to Gettysburg, of
Civil War fame, when she was thirteen.
She spent the next forty-six years in Pennsylvania, raising two children
(Jonathan, now 38, and Nora, 34), writing, horseback riding, fishing, and
birdwatching. In 2007 she surprised her
friends and herself by moving with her second husband to an isolated area of
the Florida panhandle, where the birdwatching is spectacular and where, when
fishing, she occasionally catches an alligator.

Fall in love
with a good book this February! Check
out a romance novel designed to make your heart go pitter-patter.
We are sorry
that Beth cannot cater for the Friends anymore; she did a wonderful job and
made all of us feel special with her little “touches.” The Friends will miss her and we wish her and
her family the best. All of us at the
last luncheon meeting signed a card for her and I mailed it.
We do have a
new caterer. She is Cindy Mitchell from
Bonifay and she came highly recommended.
Many of those present at our Thursday luncheon had used her services and
felt she would do a good job for us. We
asked that she give us a list of four sandwiches from which we will
choose. She will also provide a choice
of chips or pasta salad, pickle, diet or regular coke and something sweet –
like a cookie.
The meal
will cost us $7.50 each and we will pay the treasurer as we have done in the
past. For February, we will call Rosa
Nell Baxley by noon on Monday of the week of the luncheon meeting for a
reservation.
We thank Rosa Nell for her help with the
reservations. She has served us in this
capacity for several years and has done a great job. Personally, I really
appreciate her and I know the rest of you do, too. She has asked, however, that we find someone
else to do it, and if this is something you would like to do, let me know.
If you have
any questions about the catering, food,
or any other topic, be sure to let me know.
We want to serve all of you in the best manner.
Thank you all for your contributions to Friends.
