HOLLYWOOD - Rosemead, California artist Haileigh Eriquez is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest and was honored along with ten other artists and twelve writers at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California on April 10th. Her art is published along with the other writers' and illustrators' stories and art in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41 which will be officially released on April 22nd 2025. Haileigh Enriquez was born in 1996 and is a Los Angeles–born artist with a mix of Mexican/Yaqui Native American and Salvadorian roots. Growing up in Rosemead, California, a predominantly Asian/Hispanic community, deeply shaped her identity. She immersed herself in drawing and comic books from an early age and fostered a fascination for character design and storytelling. What started as an escape, turned into a passion. Originally on a path toward a career in the medical field, a personal loss led Haileigh to reevaluate her future and embrace her true passion: art. With the encouragement of her family and mentors, she shifted her focus and enrolled at Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD), where she refined her technique and explored her own personal style. Her work blends fantastical realism, bold colors, and dynamic lines, drawing heavily from her love for comic book art and Mesoamerican mythology. Driven by a desire to create characters that celebrate cultural diversity, Haileigh's work is a joyful exploration of identity, imagination, and resilience. As a traditional artist turned digital creator, she combines realism with imaginative storytelling, crafting unique characters that reflect her identity and the worlds she dreams of. HOLLYWOOD - Mullica Hill, New Jersey author Sandra Skalski is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest and was honored along with eleven other writers and eleven artists at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California on April 10th. Her story, "Slip Stone," is published along with the other writers' and illustrators' stories and art in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41 which was officially released on April 22nd 2025. Sandra Skalski's love of fantasy ignited when her kindergarten teacher read Ozma of Oz to the class. Growing up, she spent most of her allowance in the Bookmobile. During the summer, she walked nearly two miles to the nearest library to devour every fantasy and science fiction book she could find. She wrote her first SF story when she was thirteen. It wasn't very good, but she was determined to keep writing. Attending Viable Paradise workshop helped improve her craft. The first time she got the courage to hit submit, it was to the Writers of the Future Contest. Her stories have appeared in Factor Four Magazine, Wyld Flash, Ruth and Ann's Guide to Time Travel Anthology Vol. 2 and 100-Foot Crow. Sandra lives with her husband in suburban New Jersey. She recently retired from a career in chemical engineering, leaving her with actual time to write. When she's not writing, you can find her in the butterfly garden or traveling with her husband. Her greatest joy is spending time with her daughter, son-in-law, and her two beautiful grandchildren. The Contest, one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 42nd year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction.

Don't miss the discussion about this fascinating piece of HSS history! 

The Pack Horse Library Project was part of the WPA's attempt to relieve rural poverty in Kentucky.  Since many people in Appalachian Kentucky didn't have access to books, the "book ladies" of the Pack Horse library brought books to them in remote areas via packhorses.  The librarians would haul hundreds of books into the back country via horseback, serving rural communities and promoting literacy and education in communities that didn't have any books.  Women would ride routes that covered over 100 miles as then rotated through communities, sharing books and homemade "instructive literature". At the end of the WPA funding in 1943 the communities were again cut off from library access until the advent of the bookmobile in the 1950s.

This effort will provide over 8,000 students across eight Lilburn elementary schools with free, age-appropriate books, starting January 15. The initiative addresses the lack of book access, which hinders literacy development, especially in Gwinnett County where many children lack books at home. By offering free books, the program aims to improve literacy and reading enjoyment, countering Georgia's low literacy ranking. The Bookmobile will visit schools, ensuring equitable access to books for all students.

How about another in-depth, deep-diving, evergreen conversation about creative writing, finding success as we each define it, and staying healthy and sane in the process? In Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick 093, I speak with transcendental horror author and speculative poet Darius Jones. Our conversation covers the deeper, emotionally resonant value of horror and "weird" fiction, how Darius fills the "fiction-shaped void" in his soul, why the pandemic and a pair of astronomy binoculars led to publishing fantastical epic poetry, the value of rejection, the importance of meditation and stoicism, and...yep, a whole heck of a lot more. The conversation with Darius Jones was recorded on May 24th, 2023. The rest of this episode was recorded on August 23, 2023. About Darius Jones Darius Jones writes cosmic horror, weird fiction, dark fantasy -- or, taken together and as he likes to call it, transcendental horror, as well as speculative poetry and sometimes historical fiction. His stories and poems have appeared in Strange Horizons, The No Sleep Podcast, Starline Magazine, and elsewhere. He is a member of the Horror Writers Association, the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association.

Special Guest : KC and the Bookmobile Band.

Dr. Joe Abraham and Joan Wingate are both enthusiastic and tireless supporters of our Lafayette Parish library system. They joined us to discuss their mission to instill a love of reading in our children and families and to emphasize the importance of citizens' support of our library system so that we can continue to offer free and equal access of materials to all residents, 24/7. Joe is President of the Lafayette Parish Library Foundation. He's a physician, research biologist, and the award-winning author of Kings, Conquerors, Psychopaths: From Alexander to Hitler to the Corporation. Joan has served on the Foundation in various positions, leading ‘Lafayette Loves Libraries,' as president, and currently serves on the Library Board of Control, the governing body of Lafayette Parish Libraries. The foundation supplements taxpayer funding of our libraries by encouraging private donations that provide books and services and fund special programs. Its sister organization, Friends of the Library, has raised $1 million over the past 40 years. With the library being in the news so much, it seemed like a good time to be reminded about the importance of having a viable library system that is accessible to everyone, no matter their age or socioeconomic background. "It's important to raise awareness of our public library's needs and what we can do to support it. In 2002 when the library tax was passed (to support a 20-year plan to build regional branches and refurbish the Main branch), we got busy and focused on building the new sites. We know we also need to educate the public as to the many resources the library offers and the importance of reading. We want to be able to offer free and equal access, 24/7, to all of our resources." Joan Wingate, photo by Leslie Westbrook of The Advocate. Lafayette Parish is blessed with an award-winning library system, having received the coveted James O. Modisette Award for Public Libraries in 2020. It is the highest honor that a public library can receive in Louisiana. And its private donors are generous: almost every year, Lafayette is #1 in private donations made through Friends of the Library and the Foundation. Yet, if you compare Lafayette Parish's library public funding to the other eight metropolitan areas of Louisiana, it is dead last. The library staff members are efficient and effective in what they do in running its nine branches (four regional, the Main Library, smaller branches, plus the Bookmobile). Per capita, Lafayette sees more of its resources (books, movies, digital materials, etc.) checked out than any other metropolitan area in the state, even compared to New Orleans and Baton Rouge. People flock to the libraries for all sorts of purposes; they study for exams, get access to the internet, participate in the various programs put on, or reserve meeting rooms that are free for use by the public. On 2022's opening day of the annual Summer Reading Challenge, approximately 1000 children participated, with pizza being served compliments of the Library Foundation. As Joan says, "The library is truly a safe haven, welcoming people to educate and discover themselves." Summer reading programs are designed to encourage students to keep reading during the summer months as a fun and easy way to prevent a decline in reading achievement. With the 2022 Oceans of Possibilities Summer Reading Challenge, all participants have been encouraged to reach a personal goal of 600 minutes and a combined community goal of 2,000,000 minutes read or activities participated in from June 1 to July 31. Prizes are awarded for every 600 minutes of reading and a grand prize will be awarded. Controversies over the past few years relating to programming displays have resulted in the library being in the middle of a political arena. It has returned to its original mission: a focus on reading and the joy of reading. Book displays now highlight mysteries, summer reading selections,

In this episode, Charity and Tina go back to their childhood; growing up in, what was considered, the rural town of Draper.  It was a simpler time when kids were left to their own "devices" (pun intended) to entertain themselves.  Those were the days of bookmobiles and bikes; hot chocolate and toast on stormy days; fox and geese, General Hospital, and more.   Lose yourself in your own childhood memories as you listen to ours!

June 30, 2022 — After seven years of fundraising and scouting for a location, the Friends of the Long Valley Public Library are close to opening a branch of the county library in downtown Laytonville. The Friends have raised about $40,000 since 2015, and just last week, the library got the green light for a USDA Rural Development Grant of $64,200 as a 75% match to buy furniture, books, and other materials for opening day. Shawn Haven, one of the core members of the Friends group, met KZYX on Wednesday morning at the future location of the new branch, in the Foster's shopping center just off of Highway 101. “We got started in 2015,” she recalled. “John Pinches offered us the old Bookmobile, and we went from there.” The county has an established Bookmobile program, which brings books to Laytonville every other Tuesday. “That Bookmobile that they gave us was not fit for county employee habitation, so we sold that and used the money, moving toward this project,” she said. “Of course, paying rent on this space through covid was a little pricey, but we're getting there. A little more to go, and we'll be ready.” Deborah Fader Samson, the Library and Museum Director, said in an email that she is planning for a New Year's Grand Opening. Haven is pleased with the central location, which is within sight of the elementary and middle schools. It's a block or so from the high school and the Book Room, a bookstore at the site of the old high school that serves as an ongoing fundraiser for the library. The walls at the Book Room are lined with school lockers, murals by a visiting Mayan scholar, a piano that's out of tune, and donated bookshelves stuffed with volumes. There is also a seed library, which will remain even after the public library opens. The Book Rom has taken on a life of its own over the years. “We started with a big pile of boxes of books right there,” Haven recalled. Originally, the local school superintendent gave the Friends permission to use the old school site as storage for their books between sales. “And we thought, well, this is such a mess, we can't function in here,” she said. “So we put up some shelves. And then we thought, well, we can put up some more shelves. And then we said, well, can we open it? Why schlepp all these books? We're all old ladies, right? So she said, sure, go ahead. We just kept expanding our space, expanding our hours, so there you have it.” The Book Room has become more than a bookstore raising money for the library. It's a hub of community activity, with a large central room where groups gather to play bridge, spin, have healthy snacks, or curl up with one of the approximately 3,500 books that continue to pour in. Volumes are currently organized by subject and age range, with one shelf dedicated to books about insects for young people, another featuring biographies, and one section devoted entirely to books by lawyers. “We have a little bit of everything,” Haven observed. “Or, as they say, something to offend everyone. The true job of a library.” Haven promised the Book Room won't be phased out by the library. “The library here, to start off, will be open three days a week,” she said. “Probably Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. And then the Book Room is open Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. So there will be full literary and seed library coverage every day except Sunday…so we've got your back.” The library site has had multiple incarnations: it's been a restaurant, a beauty parlor, and, most recently, a tattoo shop. It's about 1000 square feet and has the capacity for around a thousand books, plus computers, magazines, and newspapers. And there's a variety of artwork, starting with a hand-carved chinquapin counter carved by local woodworker Robin Thompson along the expansive, north-facing windows, “for laptop work and staring out the window,” Haven noted. There will be two public computer stations, with free broadband provided by a California State Library grant with speeds up to 1 Gbps, “so it's fast and reliable, unless someone cuts a cable, of course.” The Friends of the Library also have a 4x6 mural of local nature scenes that artist Danza Davis painted with kids at Juvenile Hall, as part of a Get Art in the Schools Program grant through the Arts Council. That piece will be one of the first things patrons see when they walk into the library. But another work of art, in the future break room, is being diligently covered over with a meticulous decoupage of printed material. “This post, it had pinups on it,” Haven said, gesturing at a column still featuring a few remnants of vintage girly pictures, leftover from the tattoo shop. “It's really sad to cover them up,” she said. “But the method is starch with a little varathane over it, so if anyone ever wants to restore it, they can. I hate to destroy someone else's art.” The Friends found the site about three years ago, but the learning curve was steep, especially during covid. “When we started this, we didn't even know we had to have a permit,” Haven recalled; “because we weren't doing anything major. The place had been a business before. It was obviously okay…we thought. So we had to get an architect…it sounds so easy. But it took like three years.” They had to repair an unsafe irregularity in the floor, install new lighting and lots of new electrical outlets, and lay down a new sidewalk that's ADA accessible from the parking lot. The furniture is supposed to arrive in November, right around the time the ballots go out, with a measure asking voters if they'd like to double Measure A, to a quarter cent sales tax, and keep it going in perpetuity. Voters will also be asked to decide on a quarter cent sales tax for fire services. “The two taxes are not in a fight, I don't think,” Haven said. “So we'll be out and about, and out and about.” Voters have been primed by the signature-gathering process, “and we'll be sure they stay primed, and get more primed, and bring their friends.”

Kevin Krueger spoke with Shelley Shepherd Gray, author of “A Christmas Courtship: The Berlin Bookmobile Series”.

When the people couldn't get to the library, or worse, didn't have a library, the librarians in Catawaba County, North Carolina came up with a solution. They packed the books into a van, loaded it with new electronics, a couch and a few chairs and they drove to the folks who needed it most.

In this episode I am talking with a wonderful lady named Missy who I met when she contacted me after hearing me on a book podcast. From there our friendship grew.  Missy lives in a rural area, where finding community can be challenging with the physical barriers of not having people living very close together. To help overcome this challenge of distance from other people, and larger cities, Missy reached for books. She expresses how when she was a child her small village didn't have a public library, so a Book Mobile would come to visit her area to bring in books from other libraries. Missy now gets creative with how to get her books, mostly turning to ebooks on Kindle. She has been able to use a few different online book resources to hear book talk and help find community. Missy, like many readers, uses reading as a source of self care and finds ways to fit it into her schedule. She usually does this by reading during meals (aka her quiet time). Check out this episode for some great resources for readers, and to learn more about Missy's story! Episode Highlights:●     What it is like to live in a rural area●     Bookmobile as source of books in small village●     Libby app for reading ebooks and audiobooks●     Goodreads - track books and link to libraries Library Extension●     The StoryGraph - track books and get data on your reading life●    Book Podcasts: What Should I Read Next?, Currently Reading, BookTalk Etc, Novel Pairings, and Sarah's Bookshelves Live  ●     Catherine's blog GilmoreGuidetoBooks.com●     Book podcast that started Karla and Missy friendship WSIRN Episode 236●     The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles Connect:●     Connect with Missy on IG @steiner.missy and see what Missy is reading on Goodreads●     Connect with Karla on IG @karla_osorno and see what Karla is reading on Goodreads  Find More on The Commons with Karla:●     10 Day Connection Challenge free Thanks to our Sponsor:Jeanie Clip offers a solution for those annoying holes in your tees caused by the abrasive part of jeans.  Simply clip the Jeanie Clip on the button of your jeans and stop the damage.  Get 20% off of your Jeanie Clip order with the code KARLA20 at JeanieClip.com/discount/KARLA20.  Some links are Amazon affiliate links and a small portion of your purchase will come back to us while your cost remains the same.
