Sharing My Books, Sharing Memories…

While sharing my books with our wonderful military families, I am so often reminded of their devotion and love for one another.  Listening to their exciting and sometimes challenging stories about changes in their lives due to new assignments, brings back vivid and fond memories for me about my very own family. 

A Home Away From Home

For the past twelve years, The U.S. Marine Base Quantico, Quantico, Virginia has welcomed me to share my books and to engage in wonderful conversations with their families, their friends, and the international visitors that come to work and to learn from our grand nation.

Old Friends And New One's… My Book Signing At Fort George G. Meade, United States Army Base

I feel so fortunate to have had the families of the Fort George G. Meade, United States Army Base, welcome me upon my return to their community.  Recently, I was invited to return to Fort Meade to host a book signing, and these wonderful folks continued to purchase my books for gift giving and for their very own families.

A New Home For My Books... Brugh's Mill Country Store

For years, my family and I have been making it a point to stop at one of our favorite places while traveling south on Highway 81-Brugh's Mill Country Store located in Fincastle, Virginia.  We discovered this warm and welcoming restaurant and gift store by chance some eight years ago, and it has become my "go to place."

Celebrating National Literacy Month With Glenna's Book Club

September is National Literacy Month, a time to encourage people of all ages to select a good book, and explore new worlds.  Having been an educator myself for many years, I have always exclaimed to parents, children, and colleagues, to promote literacy and life-long learning through the love of reading-this will always remain a keen passion for me.  By getting books in the hands of people of all ages, communities of learners can understand the world beyond and how we are all connected.

Devon's Library Book Donations to RIF of NOVA

I hosted a Reading Is Fundamental of Northern Virginia meeting at my home on Tuesday, September 4.  During our meeting, we paid tribute to Devon and to both of his parents.  Devon's parents honored their unborn son by creating a beautiful library of 602 books to share with children in their community.
