This past Tuesday at 2:30 we had the honor of hearing Patricia Neely-Dorsey read from her new book of poetry titled Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia: A Life in Poems!
In attendance for the event was her handsome husband and chauffeur, James, who drove the two hours to Senatobia and then back home for Miss Patricia. ;D Others in the audience could tell they were very much in love (and I'm sure - still are) as she stole glances his way while reading her poem, "Mississippi Man".
Pat's visit was my first official program as Public Service Librarian. Regrettably, I still have loads to learn when it comes to scheduling an event on an active campus! I can say, those in attendance were rewarded with an intelligent and witty woman behind the podium and behind the poems we were hearing. Those students that attended left inspired. She is an engaging speaker and I highly recommend her program to all Mississippi librarians and especially to those who read this blog!
I purchased a few signed copies to give away during the Southern Reading Challenge! Yay, Y'all!

It was honor to be your first speaker.
Smiles all around! :D Now, lets see if we can't do more we local librarians!
Oh, you and Crystal look like y'all have been sisters for years rather than an hour in y'all's picture! ;D If anything more appears in the newspaper, I'll be sure to send it on.
Thanks.
