Just love the story about the eight-year-old author š If only it were that easy to get our self-published books into our local library!

I know! I guess it helps to live in a small town in Idaho with a sympathetic librarian. But none of that would have mattered if Dillon hadn’t taken initiative outside the normal boundaries. I’m glad you enjoyed the story. š

I agree. We have to be proactive to achieve our goals.

The boy sneaking the book into the library and the severed spinal cord recovery were awesome!!

I’m so glad you enjoyed those stories, Dave. It took some gumption for Dillon and maybe also for those who tried the spinal implant.

Smiles all round in this household for Dillon and especially the staff response. (Jackie’s first job was as a librarian’s assistant)

Wonderful! Yes, I was just as impressed by the library staff as with Dillon.
