You rock, all of you!<br /><br />KFP (is this Kathye?), thanks so much for the plug. WE ARE STILL HERE, PEOPLE! And we will be at least through the fall.Joanne R.

So Happy Belated Birthday to <i>Small Damages</i>. I will stop by Chester County Book & Music Company (CCBMC) soon to get my copy.<br /><br />FYI: The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI)-Eastern PA is having the <b>SECOND ANNUAL CHILDREN'S BOOK FESTIVAL at CCBMC AUGUST 18.</b> I am participating. Will you be there?<br /><br /> I believe you won't mind if I use this space to say EVERYONE WHO CAN SHOULD GO TO THIS EVENT 8/18/12 AND BUY BOOKS TO HELP SUPPORT CHESTER COUNTY BOOKS & MUSIC and help them pay the rent for September. <br /><br />And maybe while we are there we can talk about what if anything can be done to help there be a <i>3rd</i> annual festival at Chester County Book & Music Company next year. <br /><br />In other words, is there anything that can be done to save this wonderful bookstore? People going there to buy their books, <i>starting today</i>—don't wait for 8/18— will certainly help. <br /><br />If CCBMC can weather the current month-to-month rent crisis while figuring out a way to reconfigure so as to survive in the future, they just might. <br /><br />Are we really going to have a world without brick-and-mortar bookstores, let alone great independent ones like CCBMC? I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?KFPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10438237184719475988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017619759232312084.post-87847361292132956472012-07-22T06:38:44.641-07:002012-07-22T06:38:44.641-07:00I can't think of a better way to spend a Satur...I can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon - surrounded by books and friends.K.
