Well it probably started certainly in high school where the high school
library in ??? Montaba opened up world of reading to me and then
college at Northwestern University and
in my novels, which often
have a lot of historical research. More than a dozen novels.
Libraries are my life when it comes to research like that, so I have
endless memories from St Andrews in Scotland
to Juneau, Alaska and libraries all in between.
Today it's the University of Washington library by and large and I'm
still going in there is I was as a grad student
35 years I guess.
Going to the stacks, pulling things down. I've only had one.
One of my best-selling books "Dancing at the Rascal Fair" was challenged in
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
And I just heard Terry Brooks say, you know, kids are a lot smarter and swifter about
this than their
parents tend to recognize and so I don't see a reason for challenges.
I have a book coming out this fall with librarians in it.
It's called "Sweet Thunder," and a character
who is the Bute public librarian, who was in "Work Song."
He is back and I'm after that,
that will be out around Labor Day and I'm working on the next one after that.
