Last July I started this thread when I was thrilled into a tizzy because Carl Hiaasen had published his newest book,
Star Island. I have loved Carl since I took up with him long ago when I read
Stormy Weather. And this thread is not the first time I have gone on and on about him here on TOTV. (blush)
We were in TV fairly recently and could have been there still, but we had to return to the dreary northern climes sooner than planned. (sigh) And besides all that, I just learned that once again I am missing the chance to see Carl in person, just like I missed him last fall when he was in the general area of TV, but I was not there yet. (sigh again)
But anyway, enough about me -- now about Carl -- more news......
Carl Hiaasen is going to be in Ocala on April 16. And I thought maybe some of his fans in The Villages might want to know about it.
According to the link I am including here, he will make two appearances. The afternoon is for students and is free. He has written 3 books for kids.
Hoot and
Flush and
Scat.
That evening there will be a ticketed event for adults.
The
Friends of the Ocala Public Library and the Marion County Public Library System are sponsoring having Carl Hiaasen in Ocala. Here is a link to the details..........

And, btw, try not to get too wild when you are celebrating National Library Week which is April 10-16.
Love your libraries.
