\"Fred<\/a>\"Fred<\/a>I’ve said it before and I will say it again — one of the very best things about being a writer is sharing your work with others and making new friends. Here are a few photos from\u00a0my adventures\u00a0with Fred the Bear this summer … we’ve already made lots of new friends! \"DSCN4461\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u00a0know, there are some truly amazing librarians and library volunteers out there — and my visit to Clinton this morning proves it. Miss Shawn\u00a0(holding\u00a0BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!\u00a0& Fred the Bear)\u00a0wears many hats in her small library — including engineer — “All About the Storytime\u00a0Train! Chugga\u00a0Chugga Choo! Choo!” she \"DSCN4463\"<\/a>calls and the kids line up and chug chug\u00a0chug into the storytime room. After stories – she might have to rearrange the room for a teen group (as she did today) … and then back to checking book in and out — but she clearly loves her job. And I love librarians like her!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here we see Lucy (below) — she came to the book launch in Janesville and couldn’t wait to read the book by herself — so she plopped right down and started reading. I feel that w\"DSCN4401\"ay sometimes too!!<\/p>\n

\"awesome<\/a>And\u00a0where would a library be without volunteers? (pict. below) Here’s one of Clinton’s best volunteers — with Fred (of course!).<\/p>\n

What fun we’ve had — and I can’t wait to meet more friends this summer as I visit IL, OH, and WI … BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!<\/p>\n
