Yo, Librarians! I love you like a cat loves tuna.

Librarians Rule!Okay, if you’ve known me for any length of time you know that I seriously dig librarians. I love ‘em. They were kind to me when I was a kid (allowing me to check out WAY more books at a time than I was allowed at one time), they were kind to me when my first book came out (love you, ALA attendees!), and they’ve been just wonderful and supportive.

So I like to give back.

Librarians, if you order a copy of Cat Girl’s Day Off for your library (or one is ordered because of you…not really sure how these things work), let me know. I’ll give you your choice of:

  1. A half hour Skype visit wherein I’ll talk to you (if that’s whatcha want) or a group of library patrons. Can be a Q&A session or “What it’s like to be a writer” or just a friendly chat. I’m open! (Check out what librarians have had to say about previous Skype visits I’ve done)
  2. A t-shirt to give away (or keep…yanno, whatever)
  3. A one month email writing mentorship of one of your library teens
  4. A big ‘ol packet of book swag.
  5. Or…? This is a squeaky shiny new idea so I’d love suggestions. As a librarian, what would YOU want?

This is open to any library anywhere in the world. Suggestions, ideas, notifications that you want to take me up on it…just email me at kim@kimberlypauley.com!

Teen Read Week Event at Grayslake Library Tonight! & general nonsense.

I’ll be at the Grayslake, IL library tonight at 7 PM for a Teen Read Week Event! I’ve got my vampire goodie bags all ready, so I hope some people show up! It’s a Wednesday and a school night, but I’ve got high hopes anyway. :-)

If you live in the area, please drop on by. It’s a great library too. I take little Max there for Baby Play classes.

In writingish news, I’ve solved my big plot problem. There are still some subsidiary things I need to figure out, but the main tangle is solved. Yay! And, believe it or not, it involved Raven.
