That's a beautiful book by the sounds of it Gina! Would be hard to come by I think.

I still have a copy, from my school scholastic group thingy. I also LOVED this one--absolute, absolute favourite:Black and Blue Magic Black and Blue Magic by Zilpha Keatley Snyder For everyone who ever wished they could fly :)

I agree with Brenda and Georgina. A gorgeous story, Heav.

Sandra | 1176 comments This thread is a very good idea, don't know why I didn't notice it before.

I'll have to stop by here more often to offer assistance, if required :D

Monica Lamperd | 51 comments I'm going to sound totally impatient here, but how long does the application process usually take to become a librarian? Just applied and am interested to know :)

JB Rowley (jbrowley) I thought some of you might be interested in my latest blog which is short and sweet exploring the gift of story. Of particular interest to librarians is the reference to Pekanbaru Library in Sumatra and link to a picture of the stunning library building which has been designed as a face-up open book.

That library is amazing JB, but how sad they don't have up to date, current books for everyone to read..hopefully they can rectify that soon.

A wonderful blog post:)

Thank you, Brenda, and many thanks for leaving the lovely comments on my blog. Where would we be without people like you?!!

Yes, I am hoping more funding will come through for up-to-date books for Pakenbaru Library. Apparently it is fairly easy to get funding for buildings but not necessarily for resources.

Thank you, Br..."


Seems silly doesn't it..the building is there, surely they should put something good into it!

You're welcome JB!

I was just accepted! Woohoo! Now to add correct editions/covers to some of the books I own... :)

Just remember you can't go to Amazon or booksellers to get your copies...publishers and the authors own websites for all data:)


message 167: by Monica Lamperd (new)

Monica Lamperd | 51 comments Thanks for the tip Brenda! The first cover I added came from the book publisher's website... I'm assuming that's the right way to go? :)

Brenda | 79975 comments Mod
Yes that's fine Monica! Great that you've become a librarian...there's always lots to do to help out with the books!


message 169: by Sandra (new)

Sandra | 1176 comments What a great idea for a library building. It's a shame they don't have the money to fill it. Thanks for sharing JB :)

message 190: by [deleted user] (new)

Can someone add this book to Maria Honey's http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/..., list for me?

She's a Tasmanian author. I just found the book for sale second hand. Looks good!

Another link:

http://books.google.com.au/books/abou...

Cover: http://images.whitcoulls.co.nz/images...

And does anyone know why (although I'm a dodgy one) my GR Librarian status doesn't show on my page? Is it because all I do is add author images and details. (Because I'm too scared I'll stuff things up if I add books?)

Thanks. :):)

Brenda | 79975 comments Mod
Your status should show...it doesn't matter what you do. Maybe go to the librarian group to ask that question Gina! I'll fix your book now:)

Brenda | 79975 comments Mod
Yes, Father by Maria Honey

There you go, Gina:)
