Dear Friends,

A quick note: if you love libraries and history, you'll enjoy this BLOG especially now since it's Deaf History month.

There is much to share and many of us love libraries even if its just to sit and people watch. I've fond memories of browsing in libraries and bookstores. It's difficult not to walk out without a book or two.  Have you read EDGAR SAWTELLE? It's a moving story of a boy who communicates through sign language. When you have the chance, check it out.

Stay tuned,

Jane
