On a different note, the reference librarian in Santa Monica Public Library wrote this to me:
"Thank you for contacting the Santa Monica Public Library about the book, Home. Our materials selection staff has decided to add this title to the collection. Please be aware it can take several weeks before added items are available for checkout."
Lovely! Congratulations, Uvi!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Aniruddha!
DeleteWow thanks. Yes, lovely! She's coming to teach tomorrow, so I'll give it to her tomorrow since she doesn't do xmas.
ReplyDeleteI donate to libraries do - and from their online data I see people have been borrowing the book. Good luck Uvi!
Wish her Happy Channukah for me... And what a gracious gift from you!
DeleteGood luck Ia with Sydney' Song, and all your projects!
