Library Ladies extraordinaire Karen Upper and JoAnne Richards invited Natalie Hyde and myself up to the Parry Sound area for a series of carefully coordinated school visits. Karen and JoAnne kindly hosted me and Natalie in their own homes, and we were treated like royalty! We also got a chance to see for ourselves JoAnne’s famous little library of the near north, which is at the end of her drive. Here’s JoAnne, me and Natalie, little library in the background.
