Tommy Wayne Kramer and Tom Hine would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Barbara (Village Book Store) Ann (Mendocino Book Company) and Dave (Mulligan Books) for their generous financial contributions to the research and development of this column.

Local references linked. The library schedule is strictly for the benefit of the people who work there and those who use it as a daycare option between stops at Plowshares and Ford Street.
