I want to remind you that Literary Orange is happening Saturday at the Irvine Marriott in Irvine. Walk-in registration is $70, and that includes breakfast and lunch.
You will hear authors J.A. Jance and Tatjana Soli give their keynote talks and be able to choose from six morning and five afternoon sessions featuring panels of authors on various genres. You will have the opportunity to see writers' latest books and get them autographed if you wish. Call Jane Deeley at (714) 893-5057 or e-mail jane.deeley@occr.ocgov.com for more information. It is a great event. Hope to see you there.
Libraries or coffee shops
Someone I know was recently quoted in another newspaper as saying that "maybe libraries aren't part of the future" and in a personal blog that "as a community living room," a corner coffee shop would do as well as a library. Maybe he needs to join some of the "life" in a library and find out what is going on in these vibrant places.
