Rebecca Caudill Nominated Author Gives Special Gift to Lincoln Hall Library

Mr. Michel surprised Ms. Murray with a special gift for the library collection on Sept. 29.  He recently had the opportunity to dine with Ellen Klages, the Rebecca Caudill-nominated author of The Green Glass Sea and brought our library a specially signed copy of her latest book, White Sands, Red Menace (sequel to Green Glass Sea), which is not even available in bookstores yet.  Thank you, Mr. Michel!  You can learn more about the author at her website:
