Minnesota Library Wins “We Love Libraries” Lottery for March 2012
A northern Minnesota library, Mille Lacs Lake Community Library in Isle, was just selected as the Sisters in Crime “We Love Libraries” lottery winner for January. Notice that they just happened to use books by Minnesota Sisters in Crime members Erin Hart, Jesse Chandler, and Michael Stanley in their qualifying photo. Branch Librarian Katherine Morrow says they will use at least half of their $1,000 award to purchase new mystery titles for their library. A contingent of TC-SinC members including Chapter President Rhonda Gilliland, Vice-President Mickie Turk, and authors Christine Husom and Pam Leonard will be going up to their library to present their check on April 17th (see Calendar).
Find out how your library can enter the national Sisters in Crime “We Love Libraries” Lottery, for a chance to win a $1,000 grant for book purchases.
