Great Signing 11.11.2011!

The book signing on Friday was great fun! Thanks to Kimberly Springle for coming out....

I met some great folks and got a few good tips...I'd like to give "shout-outs" to Mary Colborn, Joe Guzman, and Laura Groth for taking a few minutes of their busy trips at the Museum to talk with me for a bit.

Remember, the next event is a reading at the Patterson Elementary School. If you would like to drop by, please give a call to either Linda Maxwell or me.... check out the events page on Facebook at TAM event 11/18/2011

Message From The Author:

Hello everyone and welcome to the TAM blog!

I have worked in archives, libraries and museums for several years now, which is surprising to me. Why? Because when I was a student, history was far from my favorite subject. I have often wanted to share my new excitement about history, with young folks such as you, so that you can look at history differently from the way you do at school. As my colleagues and I agree, history can be fun.

I wrote TAM to reach the children in my life and to share with them the work that my colleagues and I do. I invite you to begin explore the wonderful and exciting treasures that can be found in archives, libraries, and museums through this site.
