holding on to history

That *was* the title of the article I submitted to School Library Journal; it's now called "A Storied Past," but I'm still happy with how it turned out.  It's hard having your words edited when you're used to blogging!  But I'm grateful for the opportunity to write about my commitment to the past and the future.  These book covers were also cut (from the online version, anyway).  I can still remember seeing them in my small public library as a child in Toronto—I remember that poor librarian who tried to get me to read The House of Dies Drear and I refused because of that awful cover…Anyway, this has been a very long day and we're expecting SNOW in the morning.  When does spring arrive?
