Sneak Peek TBD ’10!
Diva Lorie Ann Grover had an amazing time representing rgz at ALA 2009. She met with Loriene Roy, the past president of ALA, the American Indian Library Association, and the The Office for Literacy and Outreach Services about Operation Teen Book Drop '10. The Diversity Fair brought TBD to the attention of many. With such support and enthusiasm, we are going to rock the drop next April. Get ready, rgz! If you are a publisher wanting to participate, e-mail diva Dia Calhoun at diacalhoun @ msn.com.******
