Launch of GriffinSchool on LibraryThing!

Hello everyone.

In celebration of African-American History Month, Lawrence, Jeff and I have coordinated a rotating display of books, etc. in the Room of Words (i.e. the Library).  Each week, the display will focus on particular aspects of African-American history.  This week it's the arts.  Sheet music from the Jimi Hendrix Experience, history of African-American art from 1792 to the present, Billie Holiday and other aspects of art are represented.

The BIG news is that I've launched the Griffin School LibraryThing page.  You can add comments, see what other's have to say about books, keep a log of when you're reading titles, recommend books, etc.  Take a look:
http://www.librarything.com
Email me and I'll send you login and password info.  I've also got the info posted at the library.

I've tagged the current books on display with African-American-History-Month-display.

I've been adding existing and new Room of Words books as time allows.  Watch for new additions often!

Explore!  Have fun!

    Ingrid,

    A wonderful book worth considering for African-American History Month is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. The audio version is wonderful as well, with mesmerizing voices as smooth as butter. The book is set in the late 1950's in Jackson, Mississippi. If you want a copy, I am happy to give one to the library.

    Thanks so much,

    Tami Bone (Michael's mom)
