Working Titlez

This month, the Friends of Henderson Libraries was awarded the annual Baker & Taylor Award from the American Library Association. Friends of the Henderson Libraries was recognized for its excellence in the category of Friends groups without paid staff. A check for $1,000 was presented to Bethany Lafferty, Green Valley Library assistant manager on behalf of the group at the ALA conference.The Friends application focused on the one of their major fundraisers, Library Tree Lane 2008. Funds generated from the event were used for the collection of pre-school books for the recently opened Green Valley Library.

Stephens Press is pleased to have been involved with Library Tree Lane for the past four years and wishes Friends of the Henderson Libraries continued success as they plan for this year’s event.

Our good friends at the Henderson Libraries are offering a neat opportunity for Vegas Valley authors. An Author Showcase will be a part of the 2009 Summer Reading Kick-Off on Saturday, June 13th at the Paseo Verde Library in Henderson. Participating authors can sign up for either morning or afternoon sessions to meet readers and sign books. Friday is the last day to request a table — contact Arlene Caruso at 702.492.6580 or acaruso@hdpl.org. Best of all, the price is right — free!
