Duane Johnson and Jane Hatch will be our co-hosts as we toast and roast Vikki‘s celebrated career. Refreshments will be served in Wichita.

If you’d like to send a card or message to Vikki for the celebration, please send them in care of Patti Butcher, State Library, 300 SW 10th Ave., Room 343-N, Topeka, KS 66612 and we will shower Vikki with them at the party.

Kansas Reads

Public Library Section designed the logo and promotional materials for the adult Kansas Reads program with the help of Johnson County Library.  There are also several PLS members on the planning committee and they would appreciate your help to develop proramming ideas.  The 2008 book chosen is In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.  The importance of having this title available in Large Print was discussed at the PLS Breakfast on April 13 and the group approved donating $500 to the project to purchase large print copies.
