Reader's Garden Enhancing the Already Lovely

Oh my. I'm in love with the Reader's Garden on Info Island. The energy, the elegance, the location - all a fortelling of great potential and to walk it is a joy. It is my fervent hope that members will log on and visit and help to greet passerbyes, leave ideas for improvement, and offer sweet murmurings of support :).

Some terrific additions - tai chi balls (which I witnessed being used yesterday and curled my toes in joy), a fountain, some pillows with interesting sit poses, and some scripts to dispense notecards and URLs. There is an unobstrusive visitor counter too (23 people visited in the past two days). I'm hoping to get some library students to act as welcomers and to offer group membership to folks.

I'm just as overjoyed to tell you that Carrie Pennell is helping in this effort and is working on some landscaping at the moment. If you see her, please thank her.

Please stop by - I think you'll find the space interactive and peaceful.

Warmth,
Sonja

Welcome our new Reader's Garden Host!

I am happy to announce that Sonja Morgwain will be assuming the responsibilities of the Reader's Garden, and the Book Discussion Circle. Please be patient as we make this transition. So far things have gone smoothly, so keep your fingers crossed.

Alphonsus Peck and I have enjoyed creating the Reader's Garden, and facilitating the activities held there. Due to RL issues, it is no longer possible for us to devote the time to it that it deserves.

You will find Sonja to be enthusiastic and friendly! I am looking forward to her programming and projects.

Best wishes to you all. You may see me float through giving the occasional book talk!
