Letter From A Seminar Guest
From Seminar attendee Betty Darst: "Judy Blume signed this book that I had purchased for the students at Warder Park Elementary School in Springfield, Ohio. I learned upon arriving home that the fourth grade was reading Blubber as their class project. I made an enlargement of this photo and took it with the book to the school. It was after school when I left, and I asked the staff why there were so many youngsters in the office. The reply was that the parents forgot to get them after school. The library staff has thanked me twice for sharing this photo and the personalized book--this is a school that needs nice things to happen. Thanks to your committee for sharing the New Voices. Sincerely, Betty."
