Lompoc Grant Opportunity

Thirteen months after publication, Vanished is still a topic of conversation in Lompoc.

The Lompoc public library was just awarded a grant from the California Council for the Humanities to present a "Community Read" event centered on Farewell to Manzanar during 2012. Library Director Molly Gerald wrote yesterday "I would like to talk with you about the possibility of programming that would also include Vanished. Today I spoke with the Manzanar author, Jeanne Houston."

Vanished on the same stage with Farewell to Manzanar?  Wow.

We will definitely keep readers here in the loop. Thanks Molly, thanks everybody for your support.
